Class description

This is a two-day workshop for students who wish to develop their skills in box-making.

You’ll be introduced to the foundations of box-making with an emphasis on hand tools. We’ll cover the use of different planes, including block planes, smoothing planes, rebate planes, plow planes and plane shooting boards to create the box.

Other skills that’ll be taught include measuring and marking, hand sawing, veneer splines, homemade clamps, oils and shellac will also be covered during the course.

Suitable for beginners with no experience up to intermediate students. Children 14+ are welcome to participate in this course.

Please note, we require a parent or guardian to be on the premises for the duration of the class if a minor is attending.
