It all starts here. Stock preparation is fundamental to a good project outcome but it is often overlooked. In this HANDS-ON class we will discuss how to "read" the material before any tool touches it and how to properly prepare stock using the power tool trio of jointer/planer, and table saw. Proper marking of materials will be covered and we will discuss the importance of reference surfaces. The importance of this fundamental class should not be underestimated and it is a must-have for all woodworkers!

Renowned bandsaw master Alex Snodgrass will lead a hands-on class devoted to building two striking projects: a four-drawer pin box and a two-drawer wave box. Instruction covers setup, cutting techniques and safe shaping methods while Alex guides participants step by step and answers questions throughout the process. He also reveals the secrets behind his signature designs, including magnetic boxes, push button boxes, the gravity pin box and an articulated snake. Additionally, participants will receive exclusive access to a private video showcasing the completed projects, extending the learning beyond the classroom. By the end of the day, students not only complete two boxes but also gain the rare chance to learn directly from a legend in the craft, leaving with the skills and confidence to create almost any style of bandsaw box.
