Build an Amana Bench with Harvey JeckLearn how to build a traditional Amana bench in this hands-on woodworking class led by local craftsman Robb Jeck. Participants will work step-by-step through the process of constructing a classic bench inspired by the simple, durable furniture long associated with the Amana Colonies.
Over the course of three evenings, Robb will guide participants through measuring, cutting, assembling, and finishing their own bench. Along the way he will share woodworking techniques, tool tips, and insights from years of experience working with wood.
This is a small, hands-on class limited to three participants, allowing plenty of individual guidance. By the end of the workshop, each participant will leave with a completed Amana-style bench and the skills to continue woodworking projects at home.

Time: 6:30-8:30 PM Cost: $200 per person Class Size: Limited to 3 participants
