Clermont Woodworking and Design, Inc.

Honoring The Craft By Building Heirloom Furniture And Teaching Others

Classes

As mentioned in the philosophy section, I love to teach.  In addition to teaching a number of classes at a local woodworking  stores, I teach in my own shop.  Everything I do here is custom designed to the needs of the student.  Projects can start with a sheet of paper and end with the final rubbing out of a finish. Or, general skills can be taught on an as needed basis.  All classes and learning experiences start with a tour of the shop, so contact me to get started. The following pictures will give you an idea of how I am equipped to build a learning program specifically for you.

Left - The shop offers 5000 sq. ft. of space to accommodate any project.  Right - All good projects start with good design. I draw all projects in full scale.

Left - After design comes the dimensioning of lumber. The jointer and thickness planer help transform rough lumber into usable pieces.  Right - The chop saw precisely cuts lumber to length.

Left - The heart of any shop is the table saw. I have two mounted into this 8' X 12' bench to facilitate both ripping and cross cutting.  Right - Band saws allow for a variety of tasks such as making your own veneer or sawing curves.

Left - Sanders give us the ability to precisely thickness dimension and smooth wide boards.  Right - A lathe is the tool of choice when turning those special elements for a piece of furniture.

Left - A large router table allows us to shape a variety of profiles on edges or decorative moldings.  Right - An osculating sander will smooth the inside edge of a curve while a shaper can apply large profiles such as on a raised panel door.

Left - A dull tool is the most dangerous tool in the shop.  This sharpening center provides one spot to sharpen all tools. Right - A solid bench is a must in every woodworking shop.

Left - This "dead flat" assembly table provides a great work surface for glue ups and final assembly.  Right - Having a place to apply finishes is an important part of completing any project.  By dropping the sides of this "booth" and turning on the explosion proof fan, we can provide a clean, dust free environment.
