This 2-part woodworking class will guide you through the process of constructing a traditional Japanese Toolbox. Recognized for their simplicity and sophistication, they are cleverly constructed using a limited number of cuts and joints, and feature a sliding lid that fastens with a locking wedge. Their design can be easily modified to store a wide range of objects. This beginner class focuses on power tools such as the planer, table saw and router.

If you took this class before, note that the class time is extended. A break will be taken each day to refresh.
