What to Expect
\n \nThis is a han ds-on\, shop-based workshop focused on precise ali gnment and efficient joinery workflows. You will i nteract directly with the Domino joiner and shop m achinery as you practice setting reference edges\, cutting matching mortises across joints\, and sel ecting the correct tenon sizes. We will spend time testing joint tolerances\, managing stock alignme nt\, and going over proper glue-up and clamping st rategies. By the end of class\, you will have a fi nished test joint to take home for future referenc e.
\n \nSkills You’ll Acquire
\n \nJoint Layout and R eference Lines: Marking accurate centerlines and i ndex points across matching timber faces.
\n < /li>\nMachine Operation and Setup: Ad justing fence angles\, plunge depths\, and mortise width settings for precise cuts.
\nLoose Tenon Fitting: Selecting\, sizing \, and indexing tenons for maximum joint strength and alignment.
\nAssembly and Clamping: Managing glue coverage and clamp pr essure to ensure flush\, square assemblies.
\nWhat’s Provided
\n \nThis class is designed for makers looking to expand their con struction vocabulary and streamline their joinery process. It is a great fit for beginners or interm ediate makers who want to build stronger furniture frames\, cabinets\, or tables quickly and accurat ely. 18+ Only.
\n \nPrerequisites a nd Safety Information
\n \nThere a re no prerequisites for participating\, so all ski ll levels are welcome. Please wear closed toe shoe s\, tie back long hair\, and avoid loose clothing or hanging jewelry while working in the shop.
