About

Create a wooden tray/desk tidy and learn how to hand cut dovetails. Each corner will be a single dovetail. Learn how to layout and cut simple large dovetails. This is a basic skill and will translate to larger projects such as boxes and drawers. Sized to take an A4 sheet of paper and made from repurposed wood. All materials provided. It will be quite an intensive session, but you should leave with a finished item to take away. No prior knowledge necessary.

You will learn

Marking up and the concept of 'face and edge'; use of squares and marking gauges

Safe use of hand chisels

Use of Japanese pull saws

Class lead by Tim Diamond.
