In this class, you will get an opportunity to develop your wood shop skills and use the tools in the shop to create a beautiful keepsake box! 

Joinery is a fundamental skill in woodworking that involves using different methods to join pieces of wood together to build more complex items. It is the essential part of many simple projects like boxes and picture frames as well as more advanced projects such as cabinetry, furniture making and more.

This class will focus on the tools and methods of creating precision miters joints, dados, and rabbet cuts as well as tips and tricks on the table saw and router table for maximum success. Skills learned in this class will be beneficial to your next project and beyond.
