  • to be scheduled again

If you want to really dial-in your dovetail joinery at PFW, this is the class for you.

In this 6-evening workshop, students build a beautiful step stool with hand-cut, through-dovetail joinery. The dovetail joint is a satisfying, traditional woodworking joint that requires practice and care and can greatly improve hand skills. Through weekly demonstrations and hands-on work, participants will learn and practice the classic technique while making their own small step stool.

Students will:

  • learn the step-by-step process of accurate, hand-cut dovetail joinery and traditional woodworking skills

  • learn the proper and safe use of chisels, hand saws, and layout tools for joinery

  • make a hardwood step stool measuring approximately 10” tall

Ideally, this class is intended for students with some woodworking experience. Dovetail joinery can be a challenging technique that requires patience and accuracy.

Cost includes all materials.
