About

Trugs are great for harvesting veggies or flowers. In this beginner-friendly class, you'll use wood purchased from Makoto Imai, a master of Japanese woodworking profiled in The Seattle Times. You’ll cut the end pieces with a bandsaw, and use a bandsaw or hand saw to cut strips for the basket bottom and sides to the desired length.

You’ll then bend the copper handle, cut the copper connector plate, and use Chicago screws to hold the parts together.

This is part of BARN's "Try It!" series of classes meant to introduce students to new skills.
