CFT 105 - Machine Woodworking-Furniture

This is an intermediate or transition course for those people having completed CFT 100, with recent high school experience or other extensive experience. If your experience was a number of years ago, we suggest taking CFT 100 "Fundamentals of Woodworking" first.

The CFT 105 class deals with cabinet construction - the design and construction of drawers, doors, face frames, carcase, and moldings. More advanced joinery and machine work are covered. Students will build a piece of furniture which has doors and drawers - such as a buffet, credenza, computer cabinet, entertainment center, stereo unit, chest of drawers and a variety of single-unit pieces of furniture. This course is normally taught in the Spring semester (starting late January).
