Chicago School of Woodworking

The Chicago School of Woodworking, LLC (“CSW”) was established to train students in the art of furniture making.
The objectives of the course are safety and general orientation on the use of Felder sliding table saws, shapers, jointer/planers and band saws. To demonstrate the various features of our Felder equipment, we have selected and modified a “plant stand” for our class project. This plant stand consists of an octagonal frame table top with a plywood/tile center, four upper rails, and four lower rails. The legs will also be octagonal.The seminar begins with the fundamentals of dimensioning wood. We’ll mill our stock four-square using an AD 741 and AD 731 to joint and plane, and the KF 700s to rip and crosscut our wood. Students will have the opportunity to use the EGL1350 to cut the angles for the frame top. The built-in angle stops and the scoring blade attachment will be used to cut plywood. Mortising will be done using the mortising table attachment on the AD 741. Tenoning will be done on the shaper.

This course is designed for new or prospective Felder/Hammer owners to get hands-on training using various Felder machines.
