Dovetails can improve the strength and appearance of your work. Your instructor will demonstrate the process of tool selection, joint layout, sawing, chiseling, and fitting. Then the instructor will help you use our tools to practice that process. Dovetails cut in the class you can bring home with you. With this class and practice you will be able to use dovetails in your projects.
In this course the student will learn to identify the different types of scroll saws and blades while gaining an understanding of which blade is used for which material. The student will also learn the basic operating principles of the scroll saw including changing blade tension, blade speed, and table angle. Learning proper safety including basic shop safety, personal safety, and safe procedures using the scroll saw will be stressed. This is a hands on class where the student will learn how to make different types of cuts and make some simple projects that can be taken home.
In this class the student will learn about the anatomy of the dovetail jig (templates, router, router bits and guide bushings) and its application by looking at the Porter Cable 4200 series. The instructor will explain the different dovetail types and their usage, such as through, half blind, variable space, sliding and box joints. We will discuss stock material and its layout for cutting dovetails as well as the safety aspects of using the dovetail jig and its components. A brief discussion will be given about the various other dovetail jigs on the market for comparison.
Using your router to create projects gets a little easier with a jig or template. We’ll walk you through the basics how to rout with a template.
Keeping your bits and blades clean makes for cleaner cuts. Join us as we step through how to remove the buildup on your bits and blades.
