Scroll Saw Heart Box

Date: Saturday, February 12, 2022, 10:00AM–4:00PM
Instructor: Bob Boisvert
Class size: 8
Registration Deadline: Thursday, February 3, 2022

Instructor Bob Boisvert will share his love and mastery of woodworking in this introductory class creating heart shaped boxes. Students will learn basic cutting techniques using a scroll saw to create a box in which to store sentimental trinkets or give to someone they love as a handmade gift. Scroll saws use a reciprocating blade to quickly and accurately cut detailed curves and joints. The name of the tool is derived from its use in traditional scrollwork which features spiral and circle designs. Students will have the option to create a box in other shapes if they wish. Topics will include working safely with power tools, personal protection, different types of saws and blades, and selecting the blade and wood to match the project. This class will take place in the shop at the HRMM Wooden Boat School located at 86 Rondout Landing in Kingston. 

The Wooden Boat School was founded by the Hudson River Maritime Museum in 2015 to preserve the maritime craft traditions of the Hudson Valley and to teach a hands-on interpretation of the living history of the Hudson River. The school offers diverse curriculum and opportunities which inspire skills in woodworking, boat building, and maritime craft. Also available are restoration services for wooden boats. A class calendar and details can be found at www.hrmm.org/woodworking.
