Here is the perfect piece of furniture for a kitchen island or a beverage bar. Learn to build your bar stool from cutting and shaping the seat and legs to assembling. You will leave the class with the confidence to build more on your own. Kurt will email instructions on what to bring, so please register at least one week in advance, or call Kurt at 216-663-2744 if you would like him to purchase the materials for you. A materials fee would apply.

Kurt will send you a supply list and where to purchase your materials. What is live-edge? It means the wood has the bark on it. You will finish the class with a trendy table, ready to proudly display to your friends and family. This would make a great gift.

Learn how to build an interesting eight-sided box for storing those small items that tend to get lost without a home. Your instructor will assist you in cutting the parts and pieces and putting it all together. You will complete the class with a finished box, ready to put to good use. Your instructor will email a supply list, so please register at least one week in advance, or Kurt can purchase supplies for you at cost. If there is time, you can build two!

A $20 materials fee is payable to the instructor.

Our instructor will take you through your project, step by step using the variety of woodworking tools available to you, including two lathes.

Please be sure your project can be easily transported to and from class each week. Students must wear a mask and bring safety goggles. Bring a marked water bottle.
