Our full class calendar is always available here. Have a great week!  Ok, yes, that sounds gimmicky, but buying rough-sawn lumber from a sawmill can be much more affordable than buying dimensioned hardwood from the home center. Buying rough-sawn lumber opens up a world of new lumber species to you in various widths and lengths. Most sawmills are locally owned and operated, so you’re supporting folks in your own community. While you could take the money you save and buy a thickness planer and edge jointer to process your new lumber, learning how to flatten, thickness, and square a board by hand with hand planes is quieter, less dusty, reliable, and satisfying.

Have a great week! At the end of November, our front studio plays host to a week-long longrifle building class taught by Dan Fruth. Using kits from Kibler's Longrifles, this week sees students dive head-first into the skills needed to build a functioning period longrifle. Because of the lead time needed to produce and ship these kits, the deadline for ordering in time for class is quickly approaching. The good news is that the deadline has been extended to August 16, 2019.
Editor's note: This is a guest blog post from Charles Murray, an experienced period furniture maker based in central Ohio and instructor at the Artisans Guild. A few weeks ago I needed to make 7’ of casing for a house built in 1903. At the time of the home's construction, moldings were machine-made and there was an ever expanding catalog of profiles from manufacturers throughout the country. 115 years ago I could have picked this up at the local mill or hardware store, but not today.
Registration has just opened for our beginner blacksmithing classes. There are two beginner-level classes currently on the schedule (but more in planning):
This past weekend (June 1, 2019) Jim Everett hosted a hands-on class demonstrating his use of period tools in historic firearms construction.
