The first day back to work was rough, but I managed to survive. I just want to follow up on my previous thread, Hollows and Rounds Class @ Port Townsend. Two of us from that class were also signed up for the two day weekend class that was about making mouldings using hollows and rounds. We were joined by three other people.
Simple put, this class was fun and very rewarding. I was amazed at what I could accomplish with just "2 sets" (sorta) of hollows and rounds. Besides a wooded rabbet plane we used a #2 hollow, #6 hollow and round, and #10 hollow and round. Just two sets of hollows and rounds will allow you to make a unbelievable number of moulding combinations. All of this is covered in Matt's book. It fully describes how to make mouldings with hollows and rounds.
We started with poplar sample boards to build our skills and finished with making a cherry moulding that could be used for a picture frame.
So on to the pictures, some from the class and others I took at home as I was too busy to show the work in progress.
