Small boxes and the like are interesting to make and are great gifts if you're in the mood to be generous. They are also perfect as a first project on which to try out your dovetailing skills.
The skills gained on this course will set you up for tackling larger projects such as a cabinet or chest of drawers as they share many of the techniques and joints involved.
You'll be taught how to:
- mark and cut dovetails
- make grooves for the base and shape the lid
- plane, scrape and sand the surfaces
- assemble the box and glue it up 'square' so that it remains the correct shape
- apply a finish to protect the surface and enhance the grain
