About this Workshop

Participants will learn the basics of CNC woodworking while building a Japanese toolbox-style pencil box with their families. Each family will design their projects in VCarve, learning how to create vectors and prepare toolpaths for CNC machining. Participants will then learn how a CNC router works as their designs are cut. Afterward, they will assemble and finish their pencil boxes using basic woodworking techniques. No prior woodworking or CNC experience is required. This beginner-friendly weekend workshop is designed for kids and their families and combines digital design, hands-on making, and creative problem-solving.
