Build a Wall Cabinet with Phil Morley


In this workshop students will build a Morley Wall Cabinet. This wall cabinet, featured in FW Issue No. 291 (December 2021), was inspired by the works of James Krenov with a Scandinavian influence.  Philip designed this piece originally for a client who wanted to display small pieces of artwork in a tasteful way with the cabinet also being a statement of art. The cabinet is grounded in traditional joinery making it a piece built with integrity.  

Students in the class will learn:
Mortise and tenon joinery, frame and panel door construction, how to cut shop-sawn veneer, smooth drawer construction without hardware, how
to cut dovetails, a bending technique using a saw kerf and vacuum bag, how to use forms in conjunction with a vacuum bag, and edge profiling by hand.

An extra day following the workshop, on Monday, January 22, has been scheduled for  participants to come in to the Studio to complete their wall cabinets if they desire. This follow-up session is FREE and part of your registration for the workshop. To be clear; this is a 7 day workshop plus 1 finish day, if needed.
