Montserrat College of Art

Subject:

Description:

1 credits Students gain an understanding of the material characteristics of wood through the proper use of tools and a variety of construction techniques. The course begins with a series of simple projects (a frame, a small shelving unit, and a box) that introduce the use of the table saw, miter saw, joiner plane, and several methods of joinery. Students further develop skills by planning and executing projects of their own choosing. More advanced methods such as spline joint, frame, and panel construction, and lamination procedures to produce curved forms are covered in the second half of the semester. The course will be beneficial both to those wishing to acquire woodworking skills for the first time and those who are already familiar with the basics and want to gain greater proficiency.
