Build a handsome tool chest as a great three-day introduction to several bedrock hand-tool joinery techniques: dovetails, dados, and rabbets. Plus, learn how to cut a fingernail molding, raise a pane, and use cut nails as you explore rules for carcass construction. By the end of Day 3, you'll be able to pop all your tools in your new chest (which fits in the back of almost any car) for your drive home.

Who should apply: All applicants must identify as historically excluded or under-represented in the field of woodworking. Beginners are welcome.
