Since there are a total of seven chevalets, the class size is limited to a maximum of six students at a time. In addition to the standard chevalets, there are two vertical saws which stand in another corner of the classroom. The largest of these has a throat clearance of nearly 5 feet, and operates by motor at 180 strokes per minute. It uses an ash bow for support, and is driven by a wide leather belt, with a foot clutch to vary the speed.
