While we often think of a box as a quick project or a way to use up scraps, a nice box can make a perfect gift and leave a lasting impression. Despite its typically small size, making a box can present a challenge. It is something we handle and come in close contact with, so getting the details right is important. In this class, Michael will cover box-making methods using the table saw, hand planes, or a combination of both, with an emphasis on safe, accurate ways to work. Armed with these techniques, a world of box-making is at your disposal. Over the weekend, students will make a variety of boxes, exploring different building strategies and ways to keep the lid secured without hinges.
