Build It! Reclaimed Hanging Lantern

Learn how to safely use shop tools to cut and prepare reclaimed wood for small projects. In this course, participants will use the jointer, planer, table saw, miter saw, and other hand tools to cut joinery and prepare flat, straight components used in this unique custom hanging lantern. The lantern is designed with a 16’ cord and switch, which will hang from the ceiling and plug into a wall outlet.

Session 2: Learn about joinery options, cut bridal joints for frame, glue up frame, and cut & sand lampshade pieces.
Session 3: Assemble the lampshade and install the lamp socket.
Session 4: Apply a clear finish, collect hardware, and make a plan to securely hang the lantern at home.
