Practical Woodworking 2010/2011 Course Schedule
Scroll down for course dates and offerings.
Tuition - $890 to $990 depending on course. Unlike many other woodworking schools, each of our programs is limited to just 10 students. We have 3 instructors everyday for the highest level of individual personal instruction you will find anywhere in the country. In addition to this, our spacious 3600 sq. ft. facility has 11 professional size work benches and our machine room has 3 table table saws, 4 jointers, 3 surface planers, 3 drill presses, and a host of other quality stationary and hand held machinery coupled with an ample redundancy in hand and bench tools. All students are welcome to bring whatever tools they wish but nothing is required to attend any course at the Lohr Woodworking School except for a pair of safety glasses, a tape measure, and a pencil. Jeffry Lohr will personally be the primary instructor for all phases of the course fully assisted by two journeyman cabinetmakers during all lab hours.
There is virtually no down time in this TOTAL IMMERSION course. Come prepared to really work as the pace of this extraordinary 50 hour (six day) course is enjoyable but by no means slow and easy. We hit the ground running every morning and breaks are very few.

Don't despair!
Just Email
Jeffry at JeffryLohr@aol.com and
request to be put on our waiting list. It is not unusual for us to get
cancellations on enrollments plus we will always do our best to get you into a course.
Please include Phone Number and Postal Address in your waiting list request for
ease of contact. I give all my oath that all information given to Lohr
Woodworking is sacred and will not be shared with any other person or entity for
any reason.
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
Due to our school's reputation and cut-to-the-chase content, all courses sell out very far in advance. Since the year 2000, we have had 650+ students complete this . 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. 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.
A 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 7 to 8 classes of 10 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 make a dovetail box, 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."
