We no longer offer Create an Elegant Box as a stand-alone course. However, we now incorporate all the content of Create an Elegant Box in Woodworking Studio. In this class, students who are new to wood working learn their way around the woodshop by making a cutting board and an elegant box. The instructor will guide them step by step. During the same class, returning students and those with prior experience will work on their own projects with guidance from an instructor.
This is what the Create an Elegant Box class used to be:
Over five evening sessions you will you will use the power tools in our wood shop to build a fine hardwood box suitable for a gift. Learn safety and operation of the miter saw, jointer, thickness planer, table saw, band saw, and router. A selection of interesting woods will be provided. No experience is necessary.
