Introduction to Woodworking: The Shaker Table *In-Person*
Develop knowledge, respect, and skill with hand and power tools through completing individual woodworking projects with a mentor. In order to introduce various tools, woods, joinery, and sound construction techniques, typically you will make a Shaker-style table––or you can choose a modest project of your own if you have relevant experience––and begin to understand the finer details of woodworking, including tending to and sharpening your tools. You will provide your own materials, which will be discussed in first class. CCAE provides tools but students will be encouraged to buy some hand tools of their own––e.g., chisels, handsaw, combination square––and practice the art of maintaining them. The table project can be tailored to each student’s existing woodworking knowledge and experience so everyone is welcome. Instructor: Carl Spagnoli

As a professional custom woodworker, Carl has been making things in woods of all kinds for over three decades, including furniture, doors, windows, and architectural restoration, with the occasional antique repair as well. His approach has always included a balance of traditional hand tool skills with an appropriate blend of power tool woodworking in order to honor the very long tradition of woodworking that spans at least 3000 years of humankind.
