Course Overview

Woodworkers know the value of a tool box, but craftspeople from knitters to carvers to cooks will find plenty of use for a sturdy tote in which to carry the tools and materials of their trade. In this course, we’ll build a dovetailed pine tool tote with a center divider that’s also a handle for carrying. Many fundamental skills in carpentry and joinery will be taught, including use of hand and power tools, cutting dovetails, creating a dado that the bottom will slide into, and even cutting and fitting a “secret” dovetail that adds to the overall strength of the tote. This course will be a particularly good opportunity to learn the coveted skill of hand­cutting dovetails. At the course’s end, you can load your tools into your new tote and set off on your next handcraft adventure. No prior woodworking experience required.
