This is available to both members and non-members. You must register ahead of time if you would like to attend! We look forward to seeing you there! About the InstructorKenneth Speed I never really looked at it this way before, but I have about fifty years of woodworking experience. I sometimes jokingly tell people that I've made just about everything there is out of wood other than coffins and boats. That's an exaggeration, but not a huge one. I've worn just about every hat there is in woodworking, plant foreman, plant manager, estimator, purchaser, project manager, teacher. I know how to use hand tools, but most of my professional woodworking experience involves machinery. I read blueprints and shop drawings and can generate cut lists and layout materials for the best yield. Some of the more satisfying things I've made are executive desks, bookcases, fireplace mantles, conference tables, and pencil posts beds. I've taught classes designed to prepare people for a career in architectural woodworking, and I've taught recreational woodworking classes. Both have been fun.
