Explore wood joints and get hands-on experience cutting and gluing them.

This isn't a "project" class, but you'll make two take-away pieces you can use for future reference: a four-sided “picture frame” with each corner secured by a different joint, and a small drawer box that has locking rabbet joints to secure the front and back and slotted sides for the drawer bottom.

You'll use the table saw, bandsaw, and router to make these joints:

  • Miter
  • Butt
  • Rabbet
  • Locking rabbet 
  • Half-lap
  • Bridal

Materials

  • A $20 materials fee, included in the class fee, covers everything you need.

Prerequisites

Class Policies

  • Ages 14 and up are welcome.
  • You must wear safety glasses (we recommend bringing your own) and closed-toe shoes.
  • Tie back long hair, and avoid dangling clothing and jewelry.
