Saratoga Joinery

No prior experience with the bandsaw is necessary. 

ABOUT DUANE: Duane enjoys making sawdust, from fine powder to curly shavings to chunky wood chips. In doing so, creative and interesting wood objects often materialize! Growing up on a dairy farm, he learned to bang nails and cut wood at an early age. Ten years ago, with time on his hands after retiring from a career in adult education, and inspired by a curved-frame mirror he purchased in Costa Rica, he began a more serious wood-working practice. Since then he has spent thousands of hours making bandsaw boxes, serving boards, artwork frames, wood sculptures, furniture and other items. He has led this class several times in Vermont and is looking forward to conducting it at the Joinery. Duane lives in Greenfield, MA.
