Step Stools & Plant Stands Woodworking Class

With Sineah McGrady

*You do not need to take any of our Woodworking Fundamentals classes including Woodworking I, II, or III in order to take this class. No experience is required.

Dying for a place to sit when you put on your boots? Pining to fill that sunny corner and elevate those succulents? Just too short to reach those mason jars? Join Sineah from Denver DIY Workshop to build your own stool, plant stand, or side table! Whatever you want to call it, add a cute functional touch to your home. All skill levels are welcome from total beginner to advanced.

Learn standard tool safety and woodworking techniques to apply to future projects such as a coffee table or custom sized bench. In class students will build stools/ stands whose top measures 11"x16" and height 18". The legs will flare out using a compound angle on the miter saw, the geometry here although tricky to comprehend, magically comes together to create an upscaled look. To join our components together including the apron or skirt, we will use pocket hole joinery. This method is quite addicting and can be used in may applications, as we will discuss.

By the end of class, it is my intention you can demonstrate confidence in using the following tools: Router, Kreg Jig, Table Saw, Miter Saw and Orbital Sanders. You will get recommendations for natural stains, coats, or paints that you can use to protect your piece after you bring it home.
