Description

Furniture from the Arts and Crafts period, like this Stickley Lamp Table, are both stylish and functional. Traditionally, furniture of this period was made in quarter-sawn oak, but this project would look great in just about any wood.

 

 

Stickley Lamp Table

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. The beauty of making a project of this kind in such a small class is room for customization.

During the four weekly sessions, you’ll watch demonstrations of the techniques used to create each stage of the project. There’s time for Q&A, and project discussion. You’ll work on your piece, at your own pace, throughout the following week.

What’s covered in the class:

Week 1 – Material selection, Shop drawings, Milling Basics

Week 2 – Joinery techniques, Making the top

Week 3 – Glue-up tips, Surface preparation, Top attachment

Week 4 – Finishing techniques and tips

Some of the skills learned in the Stickley Lamp Table class are:

• Project Design
• How to accurately make a circular top
• Through mortise-and-tenon joinery

 

I’ll open the virtual shop each day at 6:30 pm EST to ensure everyone has their technology (internet connection, camera, and mic) working properly. I’ll start the demonstration at 7:00 pm EST. More specific details about the schedule are outlined in the class confirmation email that immediately follows your successful registration.
