Description

Students will make a small box with drawer(s) out of a single piece of stock to be taken home at the end of the class. Students will be introduced to gluing techniques, several bandsaw techniques, and basic methods of finishing (shellac). Students should expect to do a significant amount of hand sanding as part of the process. Students will gain significant experience with the bandsaws and the bench sander during this class.
