Make this eye-catching, 16-inch square chessboard, from Walnut & Hard Maple using a router table, table saw, & thickness planer. In addition, the students will learn proper gluing & clamping techniques, different finishing choices & general wood shop safety procedures. Also consider taking the "Scroll Saw: Chess Pieces" class that is typically offered a few weeks after this class!
Dovetails can improve the strength and appearance of your work. Your instructor will demonstrate the process of tool selection, joint layout, sawing, chiseling, and fitting. Then the instructor will help you use our tools to practice that process. The focus is on skill-building rather than making a finished product, so students can refine their technique through repetition and feedback. Dovetails cut in the class you can bring home with you. With this class and practice you will be able to use dovetails in your projects.
Let Tim Gilman, with more than a decade of scroll saw experience designing patterns, writing articles & reviews for Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Magazine (www.scrollsawer.com), help you learn compound cutting while having fun making some chess pieces! The class will begin with a demonstration of attaching patterns, selecting blades, making compound cuts with on the scroll saw & smoothing your cuts with a sanding star. Then Tim will help you practice attaching patterns & cutting out some chess pieces you can take home. While there will only be class time to cut out several chess pieces, you will leave with an understanding of the process. Plus you will get to keep the book of scroll saw chess set patterns that was used in the class! With these patterns, the knowledge & practice gained from this class you'll be able to make your own chess set at home! Also consider taking the "Making a Chess Board" class that is typically offered a few weeks before this class! If you have limited scroll saw experience, consider taking "Scroll Saw Intro 101".
