Class Description: Â This is an entry-level course designed towards beginner and intermediate woodworkers. In this course you will use a wide variety of machines and tools commonly used in the woodshop to construct a beautiful and elegant hinged-lid box. You will get hands-on experience with milling rough lumber, using the tablesaw for ripping, cross cutting, mitering and dadoing.
Together we will assemble the box, learning proper glue-up procedures, cornering and edging, hinge installation and finish sanding, leaving you a gorgeous, finished box! Â This class will focus heavily on woodshop safety and proper usage of most of the machines in our shop.
Alumni of this class get a FREE PASS into our Wipe-On Oil and Poly Techniques course (saving $30).  Call today for your free spot!  (267) 331-5880.
