About this Class
Have you ever wanted to confuse people? Do you like being a pain in the neck? Well, then…let’s make puzzle boxes! Students will start by tuning up the bandsaw so that it can do what we want it to do. The bandsaw should be able to cut fine dovetails and very tight curves which work to make the moveable pieces of the puzzles. Students will make a puzzle box of redwood equipped with a spring-loaded round drawer. Jeff will demonstrate correct cutting techniques and how to rejoin wood, making nearly invisible seams. To finish the puzzle box, students will sand—a lot—and use Deft Stepsaver (a second-generation Danish oil) to complete the project. Students will make unique, interesting, and challenging puzzle boxes similar to the ones that Jeff makes and sells for over $400 each.
