with Chris McCoySaturday, June 6, 2026, 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Learn one of woodworking’s most sought-after joinery techniques and build a precision keepsake box in this hands-on class. Using specialized jigs and a router table, students will create clean, repeatable dovetail joints—no prior experience required. Each student will construct a small hardwood box featuring a functional hinged lid and a clean, professional fit. This class focuses on accuracy, technique, and confidence using modern woodworking methods that make traditionally difficult joinery approachable and successful. Throughout the session, you’ll learn how to safely use a router table with jigs, cut both tails and pins, and assemble your project with proper alignment and clamping techniques. We’ll also cover hinge placement and lid operation so your box opens and closes smoothly. At the end of class, students will have the option to personalize their box with laser engraving, making it a perfect gift or keepsake. All materials provided
