A small cabinet is an ideal project for working out the design, details, and challenges of solid wood construction before starting on much larger pieces. It involves strong case joinery, choosing appropriate materials, securing shelves and backs, making and attaching moldings, corner details, building drawers, and making and hinging doors.

Emphasis will be on hand skills and hand tools to size, smooth, shape, and fit parts. Working by hand is a way to impart intriguing details to your work, from subtle surfaces to unique molding shapes. It also is a path to developing a personal style and greater confidence working wood.

You'll get the greatest benefit from this class if you bring your own tools along. See Garrett's Tool List for details. Don't worry if you don't have the full set - the school has a good supply of hand tools.

Nearer the course date we'll send out a materials list. You can either bring your own or buy it at Edensaw (our local lumberyard). Update: here are Garrett's thought on materials.

This is a six day class (Monday through Saturday) so you'll get a full opportunity to work with Garrett and finish your cabinet.
