You've asked for it and we've created it --- the doors and drawers class. I realize that many of you had requested that it be the same week as a cabinet class and that's not the case this time but we'll try to do that in the future. Also, sorry for the short notice.
Sign up now!
Course Description:
As the next step in the development of Festool end-user focused classes, we are calling for entries for a 2-day class focused on the construction of various styles and types of cabinet doors and drawers, utilizing the Festool System. The class will take place at our headquarters in Lebanon, IN, and will be primarily geared towards professional applications.
In this class, the tools and techniques necessary to build and install shop-quality doors will be covered, with emphasis on Shaker flat panel, slab w/ applied molding, faux raised panel, and cope and stick with raised panel. Door styles to include inset, overlay and half-overlay.
Drawer box applications will focus on both inset and overlay styles, using blind and through-tenon construction. Dovetail drawer construction will be discussed, but not covered.
Though participants will walk away with a range of broadly applicable skills, the class will be primarily focused on pro-oriented techniques and applications. From raw material to finished boxes ready for finish, you will learn how to work faster, easier, and smarter with the Festool System.
Since most of the two days will be spent in the shop, actually using the tools, we request that registrants have some previous knowledge of the Festool System, and/or the basics of trim carpentry or cabinet construction. Safety is an extremely high priority in this setting, and we have billed this as an intermediate to expert level class since this class will be almost all hands-on.
Safety glasses and earplugs will be required during all tool use. In addition, participants will be asked to sign a standard liability waiver at the outset of class. If this presents a problem, please let us know beforehand, since this will impact our ability to allow you to work with the tools.

How do I apply and how are participants selected?
If you are interested in participating, please click here to complete this online survey, and provide a few details about yourself. If you have applied for previous end-user training events, you will need to re-apply for this one. Attendees are accepted on a first-come basis.
We will notify selected participants (as well as a handful of alternates) by email. The one thing we ask of our selected participants is that you arrive on time and stick around for the full two days.
Travel and Accommodations:
Participants are responsible for all travel and accommodations. We will be glad to help you make hotel reservations at our preferred local establishment (Fairfield Inn on 86th Street in Indianapolis). And for those participants staying at the Fairfield Inn, Festool will arrive for pick-up on both days at 7:30am.
Festool will provide basic refreshments (bagels and coffee) in the morning at our HQ, and lunch will be provided both days.
Since some of the best conversations happen outside of the classroom, we will plan either a cookout or a group dinner on the first night following class.
When & Where?
* Please note: Attendees will be responsible for all expenses related to travel and accommodations.
Class Feedback:
We plan to reserve at least an hour at the end of the second day to get everyone's feedback on the class. We want to hear what you thought about the class structure and material covered, among other things.
Festool training personnel in attendance:
There may also be additional members of the Festool USA team present periodically throughout the training event.
