Teaching Classes at the William Ng School
I receive quite a few emails from viewers/readers asking if I teach classes. Although I no longer offer classes out of my own shop, I do occasionally teach on the road. This January, I’ll be teaching two classes at the William Ng School in Anaheim, CA. You may remember this is where TreeFrog and I attended the Darrell Peart Aurora Table class. William has an incredible facility and I can’t wait to get back! So here are the details with class descriptions:
Modern Hall Table (Jan. 18th – Jan. 22nd, 2010)
This modern hall table was designed with two goals in mind: to capture attention and to teach you numerous key woodworking techniques. The jatoba legs feature compound curves that are cut on the bandsaw and finished with various hand tools and rasps. The legs are attached to the aprons via traditional mortise and tenon joints. The drawer and front apron are all cut from a single piece of wood and the custom drawer pull is attached via stainless steel dowels. 
The drawer joinery also features stainless steel dowels in a creative reinforced rabbet joint. The frame of the top features splined miters and the raised center panel is wrapped with a decorative wenge strip. This unique project will challenge your woodworking skills, as well as your creativity. Sign up here!
The John Hall Frame (Jan. 23rd – Jan 24th, 2010)
This unique picture/mirror frame is an accurate reproduction of the John Hall original and was featured in the August 2009 issue of Popular Woodworking Magazine. If you aren’t familiar with John Hall, he was one of the brothers responsible for building the large majority of the Greene & Greene creations we know and love. This walnut frame’s primary feature and challenge is the “inlaid half-lap jigsaw puzzle joint”. In order to make it, we’ll use many of the same skills required for decorative router inlay (a handy skill to have in your back pocket!). The frame also features various ebony plugs, giving the piece a measure of Greene & Greene styling. Sign up here!
On a side note, I actually taught a small class on the modern hall table a few years ago. Its a pretty intense 5-day project but its a lot of fun! I threw in some pictures below so you can see what a class might be like.
I hope to see some of your smiling faces at the William Ng School in January!
