Cabinetry Projects and the Vertue Restoration
August '06
Ships Cabinetry Graduates!
Congratulations to all the graduates of Ships Cabinetry 2006. The last two weeks of class were hectic, with everyone putting final finishing touches on their major projects, the tool chests. But most had time for assorted small projects, wooden planes, a paddle, a pair of nice oars, and various smaller boxes. Everyone also spent some time carrying on the interior mock-up work inside the Vertue.
While the effort involved in designing and then building individual tool chests was an immense step for many of the students, the results are stunning and lay the foundation for each craftsperson to go on and build ever more challenging pieces. The facility to be able to draw out something, and then build it, will apply no matter what field of endeavor they pursue. One of the more striking facets of this class was the effort that each student put into making their chest unique and truly one-of-a-kind.
Again, great work by all students, Al, Trevor, and Les, and now on to Boatbuilding in October.
