Final Projects
So as per my previous postings, you know that we’ve been working on our final projects. As a reminder, this consists of:
1) A “maverick” chair ie. a chair that doesn’t need to match any other chair or table. Abilities to pilot an F-14 with Goose is a plus.
2) A table and 4 – 6 chairs. All have to match.
Plus anything else we want to throw in. For example, we have some guitars, desks, misc. tables, etc. being worked on around the shop.
You might also remember that instead of a normal 3 week long class, this last class is 6 weeks long. WE HAVE 3 DAYS LEFT. How crazy is that?
There’s not much to talk about as you have a jist of what we’re doing, so I thought I’d show a bit of what everyone is working on. Although I didn’t get each person to pose next to their projects, I made sure to get a picture of (at least) one piece that each person is refinishing. My only regret is that I didn’t get before pictures! So you’ll just have to imagine this furniture being scratched, missing pieces, showing previous repairs, missing veneer, having water stains…every bad thing you can think of. Then be amazed at the finishes we’ve produced!
Some of these projects are still in progress. Get ready for lots of pictures!
Goodness! And that’s only some of the pieces. There’s even more that I didn’t show you.
Pretty good, right? We’ve certainly come a long way in 9 months.

Looks like the program has come a long way since I graduated in 1996. You all did great work and will learn a lot more when you get into the real world and start to do it every day with different projects each time. Enjoy the ride, it is a great one.
