CLASS DESCRIPTION: David Ray Pine will guide you through a fun two day class building this ingenious, yet simple, ratcheting candle stand from the colonial New England period. It is useful not only as a candle stand, but as a plant stand, as a small side table, and will definitely be a conversation piece. Students will not only come away with a nice pine table, but will gain practice in mortising, cutting tenons and cutting/shaping with hand saws, handplanes, a drawknife and a spokeshave.

Description

Spend two fun days with master furniture maker David Ray Pine as he teaches you how to build this charming and mechanically fascinating ratcheting candle stand. Woodworkers of all skill levels will learn various hand tool skills, including cutting mortise and tenon joints, and cutting & shaping with hand saws, handplanes, a drawknife and a spokeshave.

This candle stand table is based off of a historical furniture piece from the classic book “Pine Furniture of Early New England,” by Russell H Kettell. However, the design has been simplified for a classroom setting. Here are more photos of the table:
