Most furniture today is made of sheet material. In this course you will learn all the steps from idea to piece of furniture by making your own side table. You work with large woodworking machines, electric hand tools (including Lamello cutter and Domino cutter) and old-fashioned hand tools. You will learn which shapes, sawing techniques, modern wood connections and finishes are possible with wooden plates (glued and/or pressed). Ultimately, after this course you will be able to make the piece of furniture yourself that may have been in your head for a long time, such as a cupboard, bed, table or even a kitchen.
