Learn the basics of frame-and-panel construction while completing this classic chest (18” W x 19” H x 40” L). We’ll be using the chop saw and table saw to cut parts to exact size, assembling frames with pocket-screw joinery, and learning two different panel construction techniques. Applying paint and varnish will not be included in class sessions, but everything else will, including all wood necessary to build the project. We’ll all be working safely, with eye and hearing protection.
