Shaker-style furniture is known for its simplistic beauty and one of the most striking pieces is the Shaker Sideboard. Matt will show you how to make a Shaker-influenced sideboard as he brings some more modern elements and styling into the design.

Excellent instruction. Great project for anyone who wants to build a “larger” piece of furniture but is intimidated. Every lesson is well produced and Matt’s teaching is easy to understand and follow. Once complete you will have worked on and learned the skills to expand your woodworking. This course builds confidence. Would highly recommend. 5 stars for sure.
This was a pretty ambitious project for me both in scale and complexity. This sideboard fits perfectly in our dining room., It provides a lot of storage and a surface space for entertaining and day to day use.
This was my first time doing frame and panel construction and the plans and instruction walked me through each step. There are a lot of parts to the project and a lot of wood, so it appears daunting to me but the videos make it approachable. This project has a little of everything with the frame and panel case work, drawers, and doors. I learned plenty that I will carry forward to other projects. It’s been a few months since finishing the project and I still reference back to the plans and techniques when planning and building other furniture.
