Learn Dovetail Joinery

The dovetail joint is one of the strongest and most beautiful techniques in woodworking. Join SBWI alumni Jaime Marvin as she demystifies how to make dovetails completely by hand.

Students will learn how to properly use layout tools, chisels and handsaws. The first day will be spent cutting dovetails and pins and the second day will be dedicated to fitting joinery and constructing your project. At the end of the class, you will take home a step stool that is practical yet beautiful enough to leave out on display.

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!
