This is a 3 part class. You must purchase Part 1 and register for
Parts 2 and 3 (free).

To finish your box, you should attend all class times.

During this introductory woodworking class, each student will produce a custom keepsake box with a lid, measuring roughly 9"L x 6"W x 4"H. Each project produced will be unique to each student.  Basic machining, construction, wood joinery, and wood finishing techniques will all be taught as a part of this class. Wood type/color, and box dimensions can be personalized. Students will learn to cut, assemble, and glue a mitered box with splines on each corner. After glued components have cured, students will be taught how to construct the lid of the box, and given the option to customize with a handle or lift. In the final session, students will sand their boxes, and return home with a small wood finishing kit as well as instruction on how to
complete the finishing process.

Class will be taught by local Nashville Woodworker Cam Banks of CamCrafted Wooden Box Studio, recently exhibiting at the Crafty Bastards craft fair as a featured artist.

This is a two-session class - you must complete Part 1 and Part 2 to complete your own cutting board.

Please purchase Part 1 ($190) and register for Part 2 (free).

End-grain cutting boards and chopping blocks are preferred by professional chefs and butchers worldwide; they last longer and keep knives sharper. In this two-day class, participants will learn experiment with new skills and take home an original work of art.

This is an entry-level class in which students will design and assemble their cutting board to glue and clamp. The second class will involve sanding and sealing with a food-grade finish. There are no moving blades in this class instruction.

This class is highly recommended for anyone who needs an unusual wedding or birthday gift.

In Session 1 participants will:

· Learn to distinguish end grain from edge grain;

· Discover their inner designer (do you prefer random or ordered patterns??)

· Assemble their creation and use clamps to glue them together.

Begin your intensive introduction into the art of wood turning with Jared Moran of Wildland Woodworks! We will cover the basics of the lathe, lathe tools and accessories. We will start with a discussion of various holding techniques, how to prepare bowl blanks and a discussion on design. Students will continue mastering skills by turning bowls on the lathe, which they will take home after sanding and sealing them. The maximum number of students is 2, so that each student receives one on one instruction. We will provide a light lunch. Please bring your beverages for the day.

Jared Moran of Wildland Woodworks is a self taught turned from Bowling Green, KY. He uses only local wood in his shop. His work is defined by a desire to highlight the natural colors and features of each wood species.

Wednesdays Evenings, 6:30-9:30pm

Marquetry is the woodworking craft whereby images are created using different colors of wood veneer.  The use of marquetry is nearly unlimited, as it can be applied to a wide variety of woodworking projects.  One of the very cool parts about marquetry is that while most established woodworking practices allow the designer to speak only in a given style, the use of marquetry allows the finished piece to tell a story.  

While marquetry done through traditional means of production is a fairly time-consuming, exacting skill to master, this class will fully embrace the digital age; students will be taught using CAD and the laser cutter.  This means that as a craft, it can be picked up and practiced at a very high level of skill with very little practice.  Because the laser cutter is front and center in this class, students must be comfortable with using a vector (CAD) program of their choice before they start this class.  Pick your weapon: AutoCAD, SketchUp, RevIt, V-Carve, Rhino, Fusion 360, Adobe Illustrator, etc., all are fair game.  Come to the first class with an image picked out that you would like to produce in marquetry.  A block print-like image (solid tones in blocks of color) works best.  Students will be free to manipulate their image however they like.

The first week, we will meet to have an overview of the process and to run some very simple trials/demonstrations of the process.  Week two will have the students cutting out their kit of parts on the laser cutter, assembling them, and pressing them to a backer board with a vacuum press.  Week three will have the students sanding completed projects and applying a finish to them.  

All needed materials for this class will be supplied to students by The Forge.

Beginner Level:

This class will introduce students to one of the more versatile machines in the traditional woodworking shop: the table saw. Time will be spent discussing the safe operation of the table saw, blade choices, basic cutting operations, basic jigs to use, ways that you can improve on the quality of the cut, and the use of stack dado blades. Students will have hands-on time with the machine, trying out the techniques presented. There will be no 'product' produced as a part of this class. The focus for this class will be on providing the student with technical knowledge and practical machining technique know-how.

** Classes are transferrable, but not refundable.
