Tuition:
$1,090
plus cost of project materials.
Do not be confused by the premium price for this version of the course. It
is exactly the same in content as the regular weeklong versions offered below.
Note: The premium price for this version of the course is due to the loss of
my own weekends in order to make it available, plus it requires 6
additional setup days where my workshop must be converted from regular
operations to school and vice versa. Although more inconvenient and more
costly for me, I make this special version of the course available
in consideration of those unable and/or unwilling to take a week's vacation to
devote to the regular week-long offering of Practical Woodworking 101. As
in the regular version of the course, each student's project requires 24 bd. ft.
of furniture grade hardwood.
If purchasing
materials from J.D. Lohr Woodworking please remit separate check in the amount
of $75
for FAS Red Oak.
(Class size limited to 9 students) To gain entry to any current or future course at the Lohr Woodworking School you must email an inquiry to: JDLohrWood@aol.comYou can see by the above that courses sell out almost immediately upon posting. If you see an OPEN FOR ENROLLMENT posting after any of the courses above you should email a request to reserve the course if you are seriously interested. For general admission information and to be put on my contact list for advanced notice on new course listings all you need to do is send an email stating "I am interested in taking a course", Post your request to JDLohrWood@aol.com I swear on my life I do not and will not share your email or contact information with anyone for any reason. Info sent to me in confidence is for School info only. Due to our school's reputation and cut-to-the-chase content, all courses sell out very quickly. Since 2000, 484 students have been through this carefully planned program so word of mouth has been our greatest source of new students. By emailing Jeffry you will be informed of the next available block of 4 courses to be offered. Email contact is the only way to gain entry to the school. No one is under any obligation to register by making this simple email inquiry. PLEASE NOTE: Make no mistake about it, this is a machine based woodworking course. If you want to hand cut your dovetails or smooth all your boards with a Japanese plane, please go elsewhere. This course is geared toward getting the quickest, repeatable, professional quality results in your own woodworking. Students enrolling should either already own and/or at least have a plan to eventually purchase a tablesaw, jointer, & planer to get the most out of this course. You do not need these stationary tools to enroll, (in fact I'll teach you what to look for to make the best buy) but if you want to do serious woodworking you really need to plan to purchase and/or already own these very essential basic tools of the trade.
These new classes will run from January through June 2009. See details below on how to land a bench position for yourself on the upcoming July 12, 2008 Registration Day. Please don't be put off by the fact that a course that you may want is sold out. How the heck do you think all these students made it into a course? You just missed the December 8, 2007 registration which is why all the classes are currently sold out. A simple email stating, "I am interested in taking a course" request to JDLohrWood@aol.com will get you in the registration loop for the very next block of courses to be offered. Next registration day is July 12, 2008A personal note from Jeffry Lohr concerning course availability. "I am often called by folks that are disappointed that they can't get into a course right away and are dismayed that I only offer 8 classes of 9 students each per year. However, the persistent aspiring woodworker should indeed be able to land a slot in one of my courses. It may take a while, but I am confident you'll find it is worth the wait and the effort you put into it." "All should remember that I am first and foremost a professional furniture maker and that is, and what will remain, the main focus of my work, hence the limited number of class offerings. This focus on my own studio work is also what makes me a very practical teacher rather than the more typical theoretical one. Making furniture is how I make my living. I don't play at it. I have to make things quickly and efficiently and at the same time with a superior quality and look that enables me to sell it. This real world focus is what drives such a high interest in my Practical Woodworking 101 course offering. It is real world, nuts and bolts, get the job done safely and efficiently, serious woodworking." "I teach because I get as much enjoyment out of it as my students, my facility is perfect for instruction, and also because I know there is a strong need for what I have to offer. I've noticed that, with the exception of University Programs which are usually impractical for the working adult, many schools seem to only offer what I call "project specific courses and/or process specific courses" such as dovetail a drawer, make a Windsor chair, or a jelly cupboard. There aren't a heck of a lot of nuts and bolts courses such as mine that focus on the practical way to develop and apply a complete base of skills that will enable you to tackle just about any woodworking project." "If you haven't yet done so, take a quick look at My Furniture Gallery and you'll learn more of what I am about. Once you see what I actually do, perhaps you will better understand the reason why there are a limited number of courses available. Remember, be persistent and you'll make it into my school."
