Planning & Execution of a Furniture Project

When it comes to projects, no matter what the type or intended result, the earlier the mistake the greater the effect on the project as a whole.  The most telling errors and oversights are often made before any material is touched.  By building the project in your mind & on paper before touching your material, you'll be able to get the project done not only better but faster in the end!

This class will give you the fundamentals on how to plan your projects by covering the preparation of:

• a detailed drawing with plan, elevation, section and dimensions
