Class Description:

Need a door? Make a door! In this course students will learn the fundamentals of efficiently making a strong and tasteful passage door with a matching jamb assembly. This class will give students a firm overall understanding of passage door construction and fundamental practices that apply to a wide range of other woodworking projects.

Every house is a little different and thus so are the doors. Instead of each student making their own doors, students will work in groups to create a standard door. The techniques learned in this course can be applied to make additional doors at home that may have different size requirements.

Topics and skills covered will include:

• Using a story stick as a plan to build from

• Mortise and tenon joinery with floating panels
• Large glue ups
• Installing door hardware
