Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this furniture class:

This class is offered as an exercise in elegance. Once assembled these dovetails go unseen. They are a rarity since other methods to join corners with miters mostly use routers. These “secret”, blind to the untrained eye, dovetails are an elegant demonstration of craftsmanship.

Prerequisites needed for this class:
Dovetails with Japanese Tools
 
Are materials provided and included in cost of the class? No.
A payment of $20 is required as materials fee.

Materials you will need to bring to class: 
  • 6mm(1/4″) dovetail or bench chisel 
  • 12mm (1/2”) paring chisel
    Bench or dovetail chisel also acceptable
  • Dozuki saw (Japanese backsaw)
  • Marking gauge 
  • Square 
  • Hammer 
  • Pencil and eraser 
Optional:
  • Hand plane
Students can purchase tools and materials at the school as Mokuchi is a Japanese tool retailer and can provide guidance on obtaining tools and a student discount.
