SUMMARY:Shaker Oval Nesting Boxes
DESCRIPTION:One of the most iconic items of Shaker woodworking\, nesting oval boxes share elegance\, simplicity and functionality equally. Using carefully prepared thin strips of wood each participant will carve the “swallowtails” or “fingers” on one end before soaking them in a hot water bath to soften for bending. Copper tacks are installed to hold the oval hoop together before top and bottom boards are fit and held by wooden pegs. Each student will construct five nesting oval boxes from cherry wood in this two-day workshop.

SUMMARY:Sharpening and Honing Blades
DESCRIPTION:Sharpening and honing of blades is a mystery to most people these days although our ancestors knew the skill intimately. Technology of honing has definitely improved over the past 100 years and there are many technologies to choose from. Howard will demystify the sharpening process and you will leave the workshop with the skills to sharpen your own blades. Students should bring one or two blades to hone for the class.

SUMMARY:Solar Photography
DESCRIPTION:On the afternoon of April 8\, 2024\, about 95% of the Adirondack Park will be shadowed in the totality of a solar eclipse as the path of totality darkens a swath of the Earth from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic\, from Mexico to Newfoundland. Having experienced and photographed the August 21\, 2017 total eclipse in Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park\, I thought I’d share tips and techniques that could help others photograph the 2024 eclipse. Standing in the dusky darkness of totality\, and looking up to the dark side of the moon\, surrounded by the eerie glow of the sun’s corona is a lifetime experience you will not want to miss. Having the right equipment and practicing photo techniques ahead of time will allow you to capture stunning eclipse photos\, and also be relaxed enough to enjoy this unique experience. The suggested equipment and information will help you photograph the sun at any time\, capturing sunspots and other solar features with additional equipment\, as well as offer settings for photographing the sun during the eclipse. This is the last total solar eclipse to traverse the continental United States until August 12\, 2045.
