    Robert's FOUR DAY SEMINAR is an intense, comprehensive demonstration of the techniques needed and used in the construction of a rocking chair. In this four day class, Robert will build a complete rocking chair, from start to finish. You will learn how to shape the various parts of the rocker using the band saw, assorted carbide tools, and sanding drums, and how to  join those parts together. You will learn all the tips and procedures that go with the making of this style of chair. You will learn in four days, what took Robert many years to perfect.
     

    The seminar not only teaches  you a lot about joinery, shaping, glue-up, etc, but is also a basic 4 day seminar on how to work mesquite, whether it's a rocker or not.  What I can pass on to the class is my 28 years of experience, working primarily with mesquite.  You learn how to get the most from any given board, how to epoxy, bandsaw, shape with several different grinders, and so forth. 


    Class are scheduled  from 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM each day, with an hour lunch break.

    The tuition for the 4 day seminar is $1,100.00 and includes handouts, and a set of rocking chair plans. Refreshments are included, but lodging and meals will be up to you.

    You may also Email Robert with any seminar questions.
