PLEASE NOTE: 1) THIS IS A FOUR SESSION COURSE. When booking, you will only see the starting date. Please check the full schedule before signing up. 2) FOR THIS COURSE, WOOD IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE. This is due to large variations in cost depending on board size, thickness, and type of wood. You will be given a large choice of woods to select from and the freedom to define your board size, within the machines' limits. The material cost can range anywhere between 20 chf for smaller boards with more affordable woods to 100 chf for larger boards in expensive woods. ABOUT: A high quality cutting board can really elevate the home cooking experience to a new level. And when you've made that board yourself, you can take pride in your work with every meal you prepare for yourself, family, or guests. BENEFITS OF AN END-GRAIN CUTTING BOARD: - Made from a safe material (ditch the plastic!) - Resistant to wear & tear - Your knives stay sharper for longer - Makes an excellent gift for just about anyone! WHAT YOU WILL DO: - Select your preferred wood (walnut, maple, cherry, mahogany, and more) - Define your cutting board's dimensions - Learn to use essential woodworking machines safely and achieve a reliable result - Understand how to plan and adjust the design of your board - And, of course, make your very own end-grain cutting board!

You will start all the way from "raw" wood, producing your own woodturning stock. Next, you will measure and mark the location of the mortises in the seat, drill the mortises, and prepare the seat to be turned. You'll turn the seat and the three legs, working to precise dimensions for the tenons which will secure the legs to the seat. Finally, you will sand, assemble, and finish your project before taking it home! By the end of the course, you will have... - Created a turning project from scratch - Used essential shop equipment (machines, hand and power tools) with an emphasis on woodturning - Learned and understood the difference between cross-grain ("bowl") and spindle turning - Made a beautiful project to proudly display in your home!
