About

Learn how to design, lay out, and mark dovetail joints and how to cut them accurately and efficiently using hand saws and chisels. Also learn tricks to getting them to fit perfectly.

There won't be enough time in this class to complete a project, but you will go home with one or two completed corners, which you can use to refresh your memory later about which parts to cut and which to leave. It's surprisingly easy to get that mixed up if you haven't cut dovetails for a while, so having a reference piece can save you a lot of grief.
