Service Learning
Advanced Door Construction Service Learning Project
Course Overview
Much of North House’s beautiful campus has been shaped by the talented hands of our students. From timberframes to bread ovens, the work of our community has left a legacy. We’re looking for some moderately experienced woodworkers to join in on the efforts and build several sturdy exterior doors in this hands-on workshop. As a group, we’ll build several doors with large windows that will welcome students and visitors alike. The techniques and skills we'll cover are easily transferable to interior doors, including mortise & tenon joinery. Door finishing, hardware, and hanging will also be discussed. Lunch on days one and two is on us!
