Prerequistes: Router I and Table Saw I or Jumpstart I

Precision machine two medium size boxes from the six challenging joinery options. This is the most important box making class offered. It is the preferred prerequisite course for the other box making classes. You can cut perfect miter joints and reinforce them with horizontal or vertical splines, biscuit joints, routed mock dovetails or dowel mitered corners. The most important technique to master, is routing decorative edges on small pieces. Join discussions about successful box design elements and as always, bring samples of good or weak designs, boxes and books on box making.
