Students at Bonners Ferry High School finished up their table projects for the semester. The students pictured are enrolled in Ms. Garner’s Cabinet Making and Millwork 2 Class. This is a junior level class where the students learn key cabinet making and furniture construction skills. This semester, students built small night stands for their table projects. They used Rustic Hard Maple and various other types of wood for this project. In completion of this project, students learned how to layout and cut various joints. These joints consisted of dovetails, mortise and tenons, floating mortise and tenons, and other various joints. Students used planers, jointers, table saws, and other various machines and hand tools to complete their projects. Each table contains a drawer, taper legs, and turned knobs. Some students took their projects even further and used a computerized router to cut designs into their tops.
Garner stated, “all of my classes worked extremely hard this semester on their projects. I am very proud of their success and look forward to working with these students In future classes.” Watch for future projects from Ms. Garner’s Cabinet Making Classes.
