  • Woodworking: Milling and Finishing

    Reviewed by Alvin M. on 3/18/2019
    The intro to the process of milling rough sawn lumber, the tools and how to use them was great. The project is perfect (cutting board) but it was a little disorganized. Maybe half of the class actually tried the joiner and planer and we spent a while setting up the router templates. I was disappointed we didn't talk about finishes at all. That seemed to be a large part of the course description that really piqued my interest. My suggestion would be to remove that from the course description if it's not actually part of the course and also to update the list of supplies to bring - really only needed a brush for glue, an empty yogurt cups for glue and goggles/glasses for eye protection if you have a pair. And most importantly, setup 4 groups to rotate between the 4 steps of milling so everyone (who wants to) gets a chance to try using the jointer, planer, jointer and maybe table saw - though the latter is much faster for an instructor to do all the ripping. Thanks!
