Hand Carving a Spoon$50 PAID (Friday and Saturday 10:00am - 12:00pm)The humble spoon is the ideal project to illustrate basic hand carving principles. Traditionally, spoons would be hand carved from fresh cut green wood, which is soft and amenable to hand tooling, but you can certainly carve spoons from dry lumber as well -- many an heirloom spoon has originated from a scrap board or the firewood pile! In this two hour seminar, I will show you how to carve a beautiful spoon while discussing design features, wood species, tooling options, and carving techniques.

Backyard Wood Processing$50 PAID (Sunday 10:00am - 12:00pm)Unwanted trees can be so much more than firewood, so capitalize on an underutilized resource! Many of the hardwood species growing throughout the US in urban areas are not readily available on the commercial market but are beautiful, plentiful, and easy to work with. Whether for immediate or future use, you can prepare your own high quality small project blanks with a minimal investment in equipment, space, and time. We will go step by step through methods of acquiring, assessing, processing, and preserving raw logs. Additional topics will include identifying wood species and their potential uses, sawing vs. splitting, tool selection, wood behavior and avoiding pitfalls.

The Metaphorical Axe Handle(Friday 4:00pm - 5:00pm, Saturday 3:30pm - 4:30pm)A proper axe handle needs to be strong and tough, yet supple, and maybe even a little bit sexy. Ditto for a spoon, archery bow, or table leg. I make it no secret that I regard the axe handle as the pinnacle form of woodworking, but the information I present here carries over to all other areas where hand shaping and contouring is required. In the course of an hour, I will carve such a handle while explaining how to read grain and get the most out of several types of hand tools.

PAID SEMINARS

Understanding Wood For The Cabinet Maker$50 PAID (Friday and Saturday: 9:00am - 12:00pm)If you have ever worked with wood, you have very likely at some point been frustrated by its variable and ever-changing behavior. Why did your beautiful table top warp so quickly? What made your locust veneer crack off beech substrate on your guitar project? How do you stop the panels on your cabinet doors from shrinking and gapping? Problems with failure can always be predicted and circumvented if you understand the structure and nature of wood. That’s where Ron comes in.

Understanding the physical structure and properties of wood (dendrology) is the most important knowledge you should have as a woodworker. If you understand how lumber is cut and what that means for your projects, how to select the best wood for your project from retail outlets, how to read defects in wood and how to understand the behavior of wood over time, your project success will be high. In this three-hour seminar, Ron explains all these things and more, and answers your questions to help you improve your woodworking skills.

This very popular seminar is derived from a 40-hour course developed in conjunction with the U.S. Forestry Service and the University of Wisconsin at Lacrosse, and Ron has delivered a 6-hour video on this subject through Popular Woodworking. It provides lots of hands-on opportunities and doses of Herman wisdom and humor, and will definitely send you on your way with your brain full!

Veneering Basics$50 PAID (Sunday: 10:00am - 1:00pm)Want to spice up that boring box or add some pizazz to a cabinet face? Adding veneer can be a beautiful way to add some punch or elegance to your project. Veneer has been a common aspect of woodworking for more than 400 years and is a good way to take your woodworking to the next level by building your skill sets.

Join Ron to learn about different veneers and the advantages of using veneer, harvesting methods and methods and mechanics of application, as well as different forms of veneer that are appropriate for different projects – raw, paper-backed, phenolic-backed, etc., and how to apply them to different substrates. Learn how a common drug store compound can be a great help, and how a simple vacuum press can immensely simplify your veneer application. Ron will provide several demonstrations to assist you in gain and retain knowledge on the subject.

Finally, Ron will give you information and tips about buying veneer so you can make advised choices for obtaining veneer to enhance your projects.

SEMINARS INCLUDED WITH GENERAL ADMISSION

Clamp Down Before You Screw It Up; Project Assembly Info the Plans Don’t Tell You(Friday and Saturday 1:00pm - 2:00pm)Project plans assume you have a lot of basic background knowledge when it comes to assembly, even if they detail all the steps. Ron is here to help you gain that knowledge and learn about basics such as clamps, glues and fasteners. Ever wonder why your pin nails won’t hold well in end grain, why your glue didn’t stick or why your screw suddenly moved out of line when you tightened it? Find the answers to these questions as well as learn about the proper uses of different kinds and gauges of nails and screws, what countersink to use and how they coordinate with your nails, which clamps are appropriate for your uses/different species of wood and how to protect your project when using them, which wood requires pilot holes for screws, and much more, to greatly improve the success of your project.

Learn the IDIOT principle and what it means for your solid-wood drawer construction!

Keeping It Sharp(Friday and Saturday 4:00pm - 5:00pm)Sharp tools are safer, faster and more effective and efficient to use. It doesn't have to take eight hours and sixteen stones of varying grits from different countries to effectively sharpen your tools. Learn how to sharpen like professional housewrights do—quickly, effectively and cost-efficiently—so as not to waste time on the job. Ron will teach you how to know what your tools need—cutting, sharpening and/or honing—and how to produce that keen edge that will glide through your next project. This course covers chisels, planes, knives, turning tools, bits, and other edged tools. Remember, there are only two states to any edged tool: Sharp, and Not Sharp!

Sharpening, the Basics and Beyond(Friday 12:30pm – 1:30pm, Saturday 11:30am – 12:30pm, Sunday 10:30am – 11:30am)Having the ability to sharpen our tools quickly, consistently and to a keen edge is the number one task we need to learn as woodworkers. No project can proceed easily, accurately or enjoyably with less-than-sharp cutting edges.

In this seminar Rollie will teach the basics of achieving a sharp edge on nearly any cutting tool by simply using sandpaper and an accurate sharpening jig. We will also delve into the new breed of waterstones that side-step the tedious upkeep of some of the traditional waterstones. Sharpening can be quick and easy with a few good tools and an understanding of how to use them.

Introducing the Shaper Origin(Friday 2:30pm – 3:30pm, Saturday 1:30pm – 2:30pm, Sunday 12:00pm – 1:00pm)Almost two years ago at our Baltimore show (2018) the folks from Shaper brought their new handheld CNC router, the Origin, for a one-show unveiling. Rollie was awe-struck by its capabilities and could hardly wait to get his hands on one to see if the machine could really be an asset in a real-world shop. It is. In spades! And a person doesn’t have to learn CAD to operate one!

This seminar is designed to introduce folks to the capabilities of the Origin and the basic operation of the machine. With its ability to work on virtually any size piece and its ease of programming, the Origin is an ideal shop companion for anyone who needs to perform very precise joinery, inlay, or accurate repetitive parts production.

Shaper’s online support for Origin owners is pretty amazing. We will take a look at ShaperHub, Community and Shaper’s innovative Assist service.

Coloring Wood(Friday 4:30pm – 5:30pm, Saturday 3:30pm – 4:30pm, Sunday 1:30pm – 2:30pm)Chromophobia is defined as a persistent, irrational aversion to colors and is usually a conditioned response. Sounds like a woodworking problem! Too many woodworkers are terrified of adding color to their woodworking, falling back on the hackneyed phrase “I would never ruin the natural beauty of wood by changing it’s color”. What they’re really saying is “I’m afraid of color, I might ruin the piece” and unfortunately in many cases that’s exactly what happens. Rollie will show us how to change our conditioned response by learning how to correctly use color to bring out the best in a piece, no more bland! There are many factors that will determine the outcome of using color and we will make a grand tour of them, from grain direction to glazing we will find out why color works with wood the way it does. We will learn how to avoid the pitfalls of blotching and uneven coloring. Glazing can add to the allure of color and give a piece added depth and texture. We will also learn how to cover the color with an easy-to-apply long lasting finish that will bring bring out the brilliance. Color, it’s what makes the world beautiful.
