Tote Box – 5 Day – Dovetailed Box with Hand-shaped Handle

Over 5 days, we will help you make a beautiful and functional box, while introducing you to some more advanced woodworking techniques you may not have tried before, such as making hand-cut dovetails, and hand-shaping using a spokeshave. We will provide all the tools you need for the course, and you can bring your own if you prefer. Through making the box, you will try different ways of planing, sanding, cutting dovetails, mortices and wedges, and finishing so that, at the end of the course, you will have developed or refined a number of skills that should help with future woodworking projects. We will also share our professional methods for keeping your tools in perfect order to achieve the precision required in fine furniture making. At the end of the course, you will have developed or refined a number of skills that should help with future woodworking projects, and you will of course take home the result of your week’s work to use for decades to come.
