This Box Making course builds on your woodworking and power tool knowledge and is a great stepping stone class to larger projects, like cabinets or drawers.

Learn and practice multiple box-making techniques: design, carcass construction, resawing lumber, box joints, bevel cuts, and setting hinges and hardware. This is as much a “technical skills” class as it is a box-making class.

You will also experiment with:
    •    sliding and mortised, hinged lids
    •    keyed miters, finger joints, rabbets
    •    rabbeted and captured bottoms,
    •    Three and 4-way grain matching,
    •    footed bases
    •    the “architectural aspect” of boxes

This one-week course is a great introduction to hand tools and fundamental woodworking techniques and you’ll go home not only with a nice tool chest, but with a sawbench on which to put it (it’s also handy for sawing and sitting, of course!).

But the real joy is in the new techniques you’ll pick up.

• hand-cut joinery (dovetails, dados, rabbets, shiplaps, mortises and more!)
• thumbnail moulding
• how to raise a panel,
• “rules” for hand-tool carcase construction
• how to use layout tools, handsaws, chisels, bench planes, joinery planes and more

Beginners are welcome.
