New Class Schedule at Knowhow Shop

Knowhow Garden Bench
February 16th or 17th

The Garden Bench class is an excellent introduction for anyone interested in woodworking or as a gift for your favorite DIY enthusiast. We will cover wood selection, basic milling, joinery, glue-ups and assembly, and of course finishing. The project itself is designed to be simple without being simplistic, and should be a good challenge for beginning woodworkers.

Sign up now for the February 16th session or the February 17th session by emailing knowhowshopla@gmail.com.  Please specify which date you are interested in.

Class runs from 10am-4pm, costs $150 (materials are included).

New Class! West Coast Shaker

April 13th or 14th

We have been meaning to offer a class involving our collaborator Manny Torres and his laser cutter, and we have long admired the shaker box for its beauty and simplicity. For those of you who wonder what lasers and Shakers have in common? consider this: the shakers invented the circular saw, and if that pesky vow of abstinence hadn’t proved their undoing, they could easily have invented the laser as well. So lets celebrate the impressive craft legacy of the Shakers by building boxes the way that they would want us to: with piety and lasers!

Class Dates: April 13th and 14th Cost TBD

(stay tuned for a picture of a shaker box built with lasers, to be posted as soon as we build one…)
