Dovetail Toolbox 1W25
Age Group:
Adults
In this fast-paced workshop, you will cut dovetail joints along with mortise and tenon joints using hand tools and power tools. You will use hand tools and power tools to shape a unique, ergonomic handle. Well-cut dovetail joints are incredibly strong even without glue, their mechanically-interlocked parts have long been signifiers of fine craft. Each student will leave the workshop with a beautifully made, functional, customizable toolbox.
*The make up date for this workshop is Saturday February 22nd.
