Registration is now open at Kelly Mehler’s School of Woodworking for the 2013 season, where I will be teaching two classes. On June 3-7, I’ll be teaching a class on Roorkhee Chairs. And on July 20-21, I’m teaching a weekend class on building precision layout tools.

The Roorkhee Chair class is going to be particularly interesting because of the leatherwork involved. We’ll have an industrial “walking foot” machine with us and riveting equipment so that students can make a very high-quality chair. I think you’ll find the leatherwork skills easy to pick up because a lot of the basics are the same (think: sharpening).
And the layout tool class is always fun – a little inlay, a Roubo try square and a very useful straightedge.
My 2013 teaching schedule takes me far and wide this year – Australia, Canada, Washington state, Connecticut and more. When all the details are final I’ll post a complete schedule.

Come to Jeff’s or Slav’s in Chicago this year!
I’m hoping at some point in the future you get courted by a school in England.
Did you say Canada???? In Perth, Ontario by any chance?
I second Ian’s comment; perhaps Vancouver… its the west coast, we have beer, LOTS OF CRAFT BEER!!!!!
You may have beer, but Perth/Ottawa has beaver tails……I love me some beaver tail! We got beer, too, btw 😉
Any possibility of making it back down to Roy’s in Pittsboro this year coming?
I’ll be teaching two classes at Roy’s in 2013.
Looking forward to your school box master class in Melbourne next year, I can’t wait. Maybe some good Aussie beer too!!
Nobody ever comes to Philly. You have to be tough, crazy or a little of both.
You guys have lots of options. Mario Rodriguez, Alan Turner and Chuck Bender. Wow.
I’ve taken a few classes with Chuck. He’s a great guy with a keen fashion sense.

I just registered. I brew a pretty tasty Vienna lager. I trust you’ll be up for a sample?
Does a bear wear a funny hat?
CT Valley I hope?
Indeed.
