Frank Klausz Workshop, March 17th and 18th, 2007

This won’t probably apply to most of you, but on the off-chance any fellow LumberJocks live in the US MidWest, I thought I’d post this:

The Saint Louis Woodworker’s Guild will host a weekend of woodworking instruction taught by Frank Klausz. Mark your calendar for Saturday/Sunday, March 17/18, 2007 for this exciting event. Topics to be covered will likely include:
Saturday – joinery (hand-cut dovetails, mortise-and-tenon, sliding dovetails, etc.)
Sunday – Wood finishing (how to apply various wood finishes; shellac, oil, French polishing, finish-the-finish, etc.

Klausz was educated in the Hungarian trade school system, MUM No. 306, Woodworkers Section School. He graduated as a journeyman cabinet maker in 1959. He is president, owner, and operator of Frank’s Cabinet Shop, Inc., specializing in fine furniture reproductions and custom architectural fixtures. His clients include New Jersey State House, Newark Museum, Zimmerly Art Museum, numerous public and private corporations, Malcolm Forbes’ Residence, Charles Engelhard, Ester Johnson of Johnson & Johnson, Christine Todd Whitman, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and several law offices.

Frank gives woodworking seminars throughout the USA and Canada. Locations include: Western Ohio Woodworker’s Club, OH, Long Island Woodworker’s Club, NY, Winterthur Museum, DE, Bucks County College, PA, and the Northern Alberta Woodcrafter’s Guild, Edmonton, Canada.

Frank Klausz has created five videotapes on various aspects of woodworking to educate beginners and professionals alike. He is a contributing editor of American Woodworker magazine, an author of articles in Fine Woodworking, and a widely respected teacher and judge of woodworking in juried competitions.
