Box Making for Beginners
This two-day beginner workshop teaches you to build a custom keepsake box while mastering foundational woodworking skills. You will learn the essential techniques required for larger scale projects like cabinets and drawers while creating a finished piece perfect for personal use or gifts.
On the first day, the session focuses on professional design principles, wood processing, and assembly. The second day transitions to refined finishing techniques, lid construction, and creative decoration methods. This hands-on experience provides a comprehensive look at how individual parts transform into a functional, beautiful project under the guidance of our instructors.
This class is ideal for individuals looking to apply basic woodshop knowledge to a concrete, rewarding project. The atmosphere is collaborative and structured, ensuring every participant walks away with new technical abilities. Please note that this course requires previous experience with a table saw. If you have not used a table saw before, you must complete our woodshop intro course prior to enrolling. We invite you to sign up today to start building your woodworking foundation.
