Probably the single most renowned furniture maker of the 20th century is Sam Maloof. And his hornback chair (sometimes called his Texas chair) is one of his most iconic pieces. In the Make a Maloof Hornback Chair class you’ll build this sculptural beauty.

The five-day class begins with full-scale shop drawings. You’ll then move on to creating the structure of the chair with its sculpted joinery. Making and fitting the spindles and crest are surely a challenge for woodworkers of all levels. The final stage is contouring the seat and making all the lines flow – all with an eye to creating one of the most comfortable wooden chairs you’ve ever sat upon.

Make a Pie Crust Table – Hands-on Class

Appealing to the carver in many woodworkers, the pie crust table epitomizes the mastery of craftsmanship. In this week-long class, you’ll make your own version of one of the most elegant pie crust tables in existence.

While the original upon which this adaptation is modeled is approximately 24″ in diameter and 28″ tall, your project can be altered to suit your needs. If you want to make the top 36″ in diameter, we’ll scale the project to match. If you want to carve acanthus leaf instead of shells on the knees, then that’s what you’ll do. The beauty of making a project of this kind in such a small class is room for customization.

Make Table Saw Jigs & Fixtures with Bob Van Dyke
2023-05-01 09:00 - 16:30, 2023-05-02 09:00 - 16:30, 2023-05-03 09:00 - 16:30 | Acanthus Workshop, 62 Indian Trail Rd., Jim Thorpe, PA, 18229, United States
The idea of making jigs and fixtures for the table saw is always one that creates a lot of debate. Some people insist that they are not worth it and “just do it by hand,” while other people love coming up with intricate fixtures that do a specific job really well. Bob’s approach is somewhere in the middle- will the jig be useful enough to be used over & over again, and is it better than one that is easily purchased?
This class is NOT a beginning table saw class. Participants must have some working experience with table saws & routers.
Note: Because of the jigs designs, you must have a table saw with a Biessemeyer-type fence. Bench-top or “Job-site” saws will not work with these jigs. Please specify the table saw make and model you have when registering for this class. If you have any questions, please contact Bob Van Dyke directly.
In this hands-on class, participants make several different jigs & fixtures for their table saw, all of which become staple tools in their shop.
Everyone goes home with several essential jigs for their table saw!
