Dovetail Tool Box

Join master woodworker Wayne Ford at the Wooden Boat School to build your own tool box with dovetail joints. It will be built using dovetail joinery at the corners, which provides strength and sturdiness to produce a long-lasting box. It is then finished with your own details on the handle and ends. Wayne will walk you through the process of milling your "pats" to shape, and cutting the dovetails. You will cut the joinery both by machine and by hand to give you a feel for both methods. After this fun two-day woodworking class, you will leave with a tool tote ready to be customized for your tool kit.
