Build a Dovetail Small Tool Tray with Handtools

Create strong joinery with this classic joint

In this course we will create a small dovetail tray which you will take home to sand and finish. The tray will use through dovetail joints at all four corners and the bottom will be glued directly to the bottom of the box. 

All coursework is completed with hand tools. You are welcome to bring your own tools - any tools you do not have or do not bring will be available for use. 

Material is included in the cost of the course. You do not need to bring any lumber.
