Let the Chips Fly.
This blog is an account of the goings on and happening at "the candystore." Pull up a chair and sit a while.
Class / Seminar

One of the most frequent requests that we get at both stores is a variation of the question: "Why don't you offer classes? or Why did you stop?" The answer is pretty simple... there just aren't enough hours in the day. It's not that we don't want to, it's just that there are other things that need to be done first. Well, one of my New Years resolutions was to get this thing organized and set up. I have been contacting various professional woodworkers and discussing having them come to one of the shops. One of them is Master Cabinetmaker, Frank Klausz. (http://www.frankklausz.com) He is the artist responsible for the gorgeoous corner cupboard pictured above. He lives in Northern Jersey and would be willing to come down for a 2.5 day semianr. My question for you is....A:) would you rather a hands-on format of Friday evening lecture, Saturday build with handtools a mahogany jewelry box with hand cut dovetails and Sunday finishing seminar / finish your box. or B:) Demos by Frank covering Friday, general woodworking, handtools, stock selection etc., Saturday: hand cut dovetails demo - including blind, through, sliding and general techniques using hand tools (sharpening too) with Sunday being a finishing class / demo.The hands on class won't be cheap and is limited to 12 people while the demo class is less expensive but can handle up to 25. E-mail me your thoughts and suggestions at rakey@www.cheswoodsales.com
