This handsome tool chest is a great three-day introduction to several bedrock hand-tool joinery techniques: dovetails, dados, rabbets and shiplaps. Plus you'll learn how to cut a fingernail moulding, raise a panel, use cut-nails and rules for carcase construction. By the end of Day 3, you'll be able to pop all your tools in your new chest (which fits in the back of almost any car) for your drive home.
Beginners are welcome.
Registration for the class is free. Registrants will be invoiced for the $450 class fee; wood is extra. (Cancellations will be accepted up until three weeks before the class, for a full refund minus any bank fees.)
