Woodworking Project Class

Make a different useful, unique project every month in one 3-hour class

Learn basic woodworking techniques, with both hand and machine tools, to make a different project each month. In three hours you will learn, start, and finish a project to take home, such as:

• A traditional-style Sliding Lid Box with simple joints that can be sized to hold anything from rings to wine bottles
• A unique Bandsaw Box that can be an eye-catching work of art or a box with hidden compartments
• A small Wall Shelf for decorative or utility use, designed to be hung on a French cleat, or made as a standing shelf or cabinet

See our website for scheduled projects.

All materials will be provided.
