I’m working right now on getting the list together for classes during the second half of 2019 (which will be posted in January), but we do still have a couple of earlier opportunities remaining due to cancellations. In calendar order, they are:
Brendan Gaffney’s Feb. 4-8, 2019, “Starting with Staked Furniture” class has two spaces available. “Students will build a simple staked bench and a staked chair using a hand-tool oriented tool set. The chair is a new design, which can be made with three, four or five legs based on the student’s preference (five legs is shown in the photograph above and furnishes the most practice and learning opportunities!). This class will revolve around the classic chairmaking skills, taught in a way comfortable for woodworkers of all abilities and backgrounds.”
Update: This one is now sold out (but do sign up for the waitlist if you’re interested!). Brendan’s March 30-31, 2019, “Høj Footstool” class has one space available. “This simple footstool is an easy way to introduce two basic chairmaking skills – making a simple post-and-rung construction and weaving a danish cord seat. The class will be broken into two parts; on the first day, students will build the footstool itself using simple techniques (well suited to non-chairmakers and chairmakers alike) and on the second day students will learn the “no-nail” method of weaving a Danish paper cord seat.”
Update: This one is now sold out (but do sign up for the waitlist if you’re interested!). Brendan’s May 18-19, 2019, Build a Krenov-style Handplane class has one spot available. “The laminated handplanes designed (and made famous) by James Krenov are as practical and fun to make as they are a joy to use. In this two-day class, students will make their own standard (45°) or York (50°) pitch smoothing plane and learn to sharpen, maintain and use these wonderful tools.”
Count me in.
What airport does one fly into to take your classes? I want to check airfare prices before I know if attending and registration will be within my budget.

CVG – the Cincinnati / northern Kentucky airport is what I’ve used, it’s super close. It’s just on the Kentucky side of the Ohio River from Cincinatti, just like Covington /LAP is
Yep – what Andrew said: CVG
Is the Høj stool from one of the LAP books?
Nope – that’s Brendan’s adaptation/amalgamation of a couple different designs.
