Hand Tool Woodworking: Make a Dutch Tool Chest
5 Days
Tuition: $1,275
Ages: 18 & Up
Instructor: Jamie Marvin
Instructional Delivery Method(s): In person
Prerequisites: None
Program Level: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced
Program Description:
Whether you already own an embarrassment of hand tools and want an elegant and portable way to store them, or you simply want to be ready when your hand tool obsession (inevitably) arrives, you need a Dutch Tool Chest.
This class is geared toward people who have beginner woodworking skills and want to learn more advanced techniques, but students new to the woodshop are also welcome to join. Under our guidance, you’ll learn to craft each joint, detail each surface, and apply an eye-pleasing finish (choose your own color!). We will work with Eastern White Pine and school-provided hardware for this project.
Students are encouraged to bring their own tools both for use and for fitting storage organizers. The school also has hand tools available for use.
The finished chest will measure approximately 26” H x 27” W x 13” D. (The slanted lid makes this project transportable for most hatchback owners).
A sincere thanks to Megan Fitzpatrick and Lost Art Press for the foundational knowledge on which this course rests.
