Box Making for Beginners

This two day introductory course teaches you how to construct a small wooden keepsake box using essential woodworking techniques. It serves as a practical foundation for future projects like drawers and cabinetry by covering core shop methods in a hands on environment.

On the first day you will learn to process raw wood and assemble the structure of your box. The second day focuses on lid construction, finishing techniques, and decorative options to personalize your project. You will gain direct experience with shop equipment and foundational assembly methods while completing a functional piece.

This class is ideal for beginners who want to build confidence in the woodshop. Please note that participants must have prior experience with table saws or must complete our woodshop intro course before enrolling.
