This last weekend I attended a class at the Port Townsend School of Woodworking. The class was with Darrell Peart and the class was his Greene and Greene Details I class. It was a fun class, with lot of good information. Darrell started the class with a great slideshow of Greene and Greene and many of the details found in their houses and furniture.
Darrell is a professional woodworking and his approach if very jig intensive. Jigs can be very time consuming to make, but they can guarantee results. I was going through a very anti-jig stage of my woodworking, but after taking a couple classes from Darrell I’m starting reevaluate jigs. I’m starting see the advantage again, for taking the time to build jigs.
Below are some pictures of the progress going through the weekend.

I love the G&G look – I’ve got a book on G&G design on my wish list.
I also want to commend you on the new blog theme – its a good look!

Thanks Torch. Darrell has a nice book on Greene and Greene Details. His book is called “Greene & Greene: Design Elements for the Workshop”.
As for the new theme, I changed to this “basic” one, because the old one was causing some issues. I may stay with this or play around with it after I have more time.
