Woodshop Basics- Kentucky Stick Chair Class

Saturday, April 25, 2026 (9:00 AM - 5:00 PM) (EDT)

Description

Learn woodworking skills and build an outdoor folding chair in a day! 

No prior woodworking experience is required. 

Build an outdoor folding chair in a day! Students will cut and drill parts to create a folding chair, commonly called a Kentucky Stick Chair. The chair, made out of cedar, is ideal for sitting on a porch or at the beach on a summer day. 

-Students will spend the day laying out, cutting, and drilling more than 40 parts to make the complete chair. The finished chairs will be taken home at the end of the day. 

-Due to the use of cedar, a lung irritant, N95 masks will be required in the shop during the class. 

The class fee includes the cost of a mask, but students are encouraged to bring a well-fitted N95 mask or equivalent respirator. 

This class is aimed at novice woodworkers.
