Modern Colonial Project

Furniture School at the North Bennet Street School Video

Bob visits with Alex Krutsky at the cabinet and furniture classrooms of the North Bennet Street School in Boston. Bob and Krutsky discuss the school's admissions process, which does require previous carpentry experience. Bob then examines a furniture project by student Tommy MacDonald. MacDonald's elaborate casework example is based on an original design made in Salem, Mass., in the 1780s by craftsman Henry Russ.
