Build the Boarded Bookshelf from Christopher Schwarz's "The Anarchist's Design Book" as you learn how cut dados and tongue-and-groove joints by hand, and drive tapered, square-shanked nails without splitting your work. And of course, plane up your work for a perfect finish. The bookcases will be built in pine...and we might even have time to give them a first coat of General Finishes milk paint (or casein-based milk paint, if that's your preference – the tool list will include links and pros/cons for both finish treatments).

Registration for the class is free. Registrants will be invoiced for the $300 class fee, plus a materials fee once I've sourced and purchased the stock (likely around $125). (Cancellations will be accepted up until three weeks before the class, for a full refund minus any bank fees.)
