Thanks Hector. It was great having you in class. You guys were a fun and creative group. Hopefully I'll have an opportunity to see you in a class again sometime. Good luck with your woodworking.

The school has great equipment and hand tools. Marc’s design incorporated some new techniques that I’ve wanted to try for a long time. We were able to work at our own pace and the class size made it possible to get a lot of one-on-one time. We got right to work and the whole class was busy the entire time although the experience levels varied. A couple of us made some minor mistakes, but this is when I really learned some valuable techniques. I ended up finishing my frame at home the following Monday and after a couple of coats of shellac, it’s ready to go on the wall. As an instructor, Marc provides the options and encourages you to be creative (very cool). William is an amazing craftsman as well as really funny guy. This class really recharged my batteries; I’ve been in the workshop every opportunity since the class. I left the school felling ready to push my skills to the next level. For anyone thinking about taking a class with Marc at the William Ng School, DO IT! A BIG ENDORSEMENT ,

Just curious. Hey Marc, it that’s the way to get that result would that be the first thing you do in the process to make the table? Just curious.

To sum up, you rip a 1" strip from the top of the board, a 1" strip from the bottom of the board, then cross-cut the drawer face out. Next, you glue all those pieces back together, only without the drawer front in place. The opening that is left is now your opening for the drawer. Ahhh ok.

The goal is to get a nice drawer front with continuous grain. Nice writeup & pics! Looks like the class was a blast!

I highly recommend taking a class if you can. There is nothing quite like unplugging from the rest of the world for a few days and doing NOTHING but woodworking. Its amazing how much you can get done in that time period. And of course, you learn a ton! Hey Frank. I highly recommend taking a class if you can.

But in general, I do learn a lot from students. Fortunately, woodworking is one of those areas where people are constantly learning, so you’ll find woodworkers of all skill levels taking classes.
