Event: Garrett Hack – Woodworking Seminar 11 April (Fee Charged, Sign Up Required)
Where: Bain Center
Time: 9AM to 4PM
Cost: $50 paid in advance.
Attendance: Limited to 22 active members.
This is a rare opportunity to attend a class given by one of the premier woodworkers in the US. He is a longtime contributor to Fine Woodworking and a much in demand presenter and teacher. His works reflect a flair and play on traditional woodworking with a modern twist. The discussion will be varied so that it will be useful to a wide range of interests and skills.
We will start in the morning by discussing design, what makes for a good design. Why are some pieces of furniture so appealing, elegant, and well made? Design is a factor, but so are the many choices made by the maker; such as which techniques, joints, woods, and details.
We will explore the building process, looking at design, hand tools, strong joinery, wonderful details, and how to work efficiently and accurately — practical stuff and very useful. And finish with DETAILS — chamfers, edges, a bit of inlay, beads, etc.
Space is limited, so sign up on early, click the link button below, and remit your payment to Manny Flecker to secure your place. The deadline will be the April 6th meeting. After that we will open it up to the Annapolis woodworkers to fill any empty slots. So, don’t delay.
