    applications and limitations. Class time will be divided between a classroom setting and
    laboratory work. Students will build a small assigned, introductory project, and then
    choose 1 to 2 moderately sized furniture projects from a short list provided by the
    instructor. A down payment must be paid before starting the furniture project.

    Actual total cost of the year’s projects will depend upon the type of wood chosen, but
    should range between $ 100 and $ 150 for all three.

    pursuing a career in cabinet making, woodworking, or for anyone who wishes to have the
    knowledge needed to build fine furniture as a leisure time activity. Students in this class
    will utilize knowledge gained in the previous two classes plus advanced techniques
    developed in this class to build a challenging cabinet style project. Students will be
    working on their own and at their own pace using the instructor as a sounding board for
    problem solving ideas. Students may make any project they feel capable of making. Size
    and cost are to be determined by the needs of the student. A down payment must be paid
    before starting the project. The student may choose plans from an outside source or
    design their own project. Written assignments will be included to strengthen the student’s
    understanding of the processes necessary to successfully complete their project.
