About

At the first session, you will learn about bandsaw box design and construction, and cut your box on the bandsaw, You can purchase wood from BARN or bring your own wood. By the end of the session, your box should be glued up. Finishing may need to be done on your own after the class.

Details:

• This class is suitable for beginners, but students should be checked out on band saw safety beforehand. Do this by taking Woodshop Tool Safety Checkout 1. Multiple sessions are listed on the BARN calendar.
• If you want to buy wood from BARN, bring $10 for a maple block approximately 8 inches by 8 inches by 3 inches. Or you can bring your own wood with that as a general size guide.
  
• Before the class, sketch the shape of the box you want. For ideas, search Google Images for "bandsaw boxes."
