The West Claremont Center for Music and the Arts and the Claremont Maker Space are pleased to welcome master woodworker Tom McLaughlin to Claremont for this special program.

Participants will learn the techniques used to build the Shaker Hall Table designed by Tom. These tips and tricks will be valuable for other projects as well. Topics will include mortise and tenon joinery, making tapered legs on the tablesaw, hand-cut pocket holes, using a hand plane for polished surfaces, and more. Full size, hand drawn plans will be available to purchase for an additional fee (cash or check). At the end of the program the audience will be invited to ask questions.

Cost: $30 in advance, $25 for members of CMS or WCCMA by the 9th. $35 after February 9th.
