# Event Details - **Event Name**: Artful Joinery - Shaker Inspired Side Table - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 14 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sat, 19 Sep, 2026 at 05:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Join Rob Spiece, the Director of Pine Croft, in a deep dive into traditional wooden joinery techniques.About this EventClass Description:Building on the techniques we learned in Foundations of Furniture Making, this class will explore delicate and exacting joinery while building a carefully detailed side table.DovetailsDovetails are all over this piece – from the socket dovetail that joins the legs above the drawer, to the through dovetails at the drawer back and the half blind dovetails at the drawer front. There are so many ways to cut this joint and we’ll look at them all. One method doesn’t work for everyone, so I’ll encourage you to look for a method that makes sense to your hands, your head and the tooling you have available.Breadboard EndsOne of my favorite joints – the breadboard end – tells a story of craftsmanship and consideration. Tenons cut on the table top join to breadboards with pins and wedges. The joint is engineered to hold tight and allow movement at the same time. Glue is used sparingly in assembly and the draw bored pins do the heavy lifting.Fitting DrawersCutting fine dovetails is great, but you need a place for them to go. There’s nothing better than a finely fitted drawer that runs on wood runners. We’ll dive into a traditional approach to fitting a drawer that leads to silky smooth operation, no matter the time of year.Shaker StyleDrawing from examples of Shaker pieces, turned and tapered legs give us a chance to explore turning furniture parts. Transitions from square to round take a bit of practice, so we’ll spend a day at the lathe tuning in our finished cuts. Delicately turned pulls give us a chance to shape graceful small parts.Prerequisite: I’d highly encourage taking my Foundations of Furniture Making course before this one. In that class, we really have time to dive into knowledge of wood as a building material – and the exacting methods of building fine furniture. The ability to make a mortise and tenon joint and accomplish exacting layout is essential to your success in this class. A basic comfort level with the tablesaw, bandsaw and router are essential. Coming into this higher level class without a solid background in the fundamentals of woodworking may lead to a difficult experience. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/berea/artful-joinery-shaker-inspired-side-table/100001628764982909 - **Event Categories**: workshops, art, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 1900, max: 1900, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Berea - **state**: KY - **country**: United States - **location**: The Woodworking School at Pine Croft - **lat**: 37.56377099999999 - **long**: -84.2492453 - **full address**: The Woodworking School at Pine Croft, 1865 Big Hill Road, Berea, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Artful Joinery - Shaker Inspired Side Table - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/0829346552ee193199c91163370a2ea60dd9201557ad7bb2fa64cf2b3418b72e-rimg-w1200-h800-dc473018-gmir.jpg?v=1757256929 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Artful Joinery - Shaker Inspired Side Table being held? - **A:** Artful Joinery - Shaker Inspired Side Table takes place on Mon, 14 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 am to Sat, 19 Sep, 2026 at 05:00 pm at The Woodworking School at Pine Croft, 1865 Big Hill Road, Berea, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Artful Joinery - Shaker Inspired Side Table? - **A:** Tickets for Artful Joinery - Shaker Inspired Side Table are priced at USD 1,900 per person.

Both Andy and Berea College are dedicated to preserving the fundamental character the school has been known for as we move the school into its next phase.  The Woodworking School at Pine Croft further supports Berea College’s 120-year commitment to the preservation and promotion of craft.\r\nWhile in some ways woodworking is an individual pursuit, there are common traits that connect across makers: a desire to expand our skills, furnish our homes, surround ourselves with the handmade, and join a community of dedicated craftspeople. We believe that craft can both preserve traditions and beauty – and that craft can act as a counterbalance to a disposable and consumer-reliant world. Making is essential to us. We are excited to share a place where students can grow in their skills and fulfill their creative pursuits. Providing opportunities to work with leading instructors who come from diverse backgrounds and have different woodworking perspectives. All are welcome to attend" } ] } ] ```
