This past week I taught a class at the Wood and Shop School on building a Shaker candle stand for the first time. The table we made is pretty much a dead copy of one I measured a few years back at Hancock Shaker Village.
I was surprised at how well everyone took to cutting the sliding dovetails that attach the legs to the spindle. The fit and and function of the joinery was top notch.
I have written and done a video on building this table in the past; it is one of my all-time favorite projects. Building this wonderful table with all of its cool little details in a class with a great group students really brought the project full circle for me.

I so wish I lived closer to your school so I could take your awesome classes.
Great article.
Great class.
Great teacher.
Thanks Will.
What brand of face shield is the student using? Thank you.
The faceshield looks to be the Uvex Bionic Faceshield. I have one, very happy with it.
That is a sweet slab for the bench on the second picture where the guy is using the spokeshave.
