Learn the fine points of veneering and discover a whole new world of design possibilities for your projects. Beginning with buying, storing, seaming, taping, and pressing, Bill will continue with book, four-way, diamond, and radial matching of veneer. After practicing those skills, the class will learn to add borders, inlays, edge details, and make curved panels. By the middle of the week, parquetry will be introduced, and students can add geometric shapes to their panels. By the end of the week each will have completed many examples to take home. MAKING A VENEERED JEWELRY BOX WITH BILL HULL DATE: Aug. 6–7 2011 COST: $250 tuition; $60 materials CLASS SIZE: 18 people CONTACT: Marc Adams School of Woodworking (317) 535-4013
Jewelry boxes are an opportunity to show off those special highly figured woods and although small, offer the chance to develop many skills. In this weekend workshop, we will each complete the woodworking on a veneered jewelry box with a removable sliding tray. The veneering will involve vacuum-bagging a tight radius curve and edge work. Bill will also demonstrate vacuum-clamping and making fixtures to simplify the machining and joining of multiple identical parts. This finished jewelry box is the perfect Christmas present—or a perfect way to ensure that your spouse will let you come back next summer. Sign up early because this class has sold out for five straight years. |
