Intro to Woodworking: Divided Boxes

  • Saturday, January 11, 2020
  • 2:00 PM 6:00 PM 14:00 18:00
  • The ReBuilding Center 3625 North Mississippi Avenue Portland, OR, 97227 United States (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Make a sweet little partitioned box out of reclaimed wood, and use the same skills on other projects at home, like spice racks, drawer dividers, or knick-knack shelves. We'll explore mitered corners, recessed joinery, and corner clamping.

Project sizes are limited to 12" wide x 4" deep x 4" high, with 2 compartments. Perfect for storing tea, or gaming cards, or...? (Lids will lift off, rather than being hinged, to reinforce joinery learned in class.)

Skill level: Basic familiarity with either chopsaw or tablesaw required, such as a previous Intro to Carpentry class with us.

Topics covered:
* measuring and cutting miter joints
* simple tablesaw joinery - rabbets & dados
* DIY clamping methods under $5
* finishing options
