About this Event

Join Community Workshop NOLA to learn fine woodworking and make a beautiful modern shelf. In this workshop, students will shape parts, assemble, and finish a wall hanging shelf from pre-milled cypress. Course emphasis will be on learning the finer points of common woodworking tools and demystifying precision techniques used by builders who work to a "fine furniture" standard.

Students will learn to use the bandsaw, tablesaw, miter gauge, drill press, plunge router, orbital sander, hand plane, combination square and other general layout tools, chisels, and sanding blocks. Approximate size of the shelf is 40" Long x 5-1/2" Deep x 5-1/2" Tall.


Note: This is an intermediate level class. Some power tool experience required.

About the Instructor

Simon Blache is a fine furniture maker, designer, and founder of the local custom furniture business Pierre Fine Furniture. He approaches furniture making with an emphasis on creating pieces that will gracefully endure the test of time in terms of both aesthetics and durability. A constant student of the craft with a background in Mechanical Engineering, Simon values the knowledge of woodworking traditionalists but is equally keen to reject convention - he believes there is almost never a universal “right way” to do anything.
