Question from Gabriel B.
I would love to take this class. I haven't taken the previous course, can I take this anyway? Also I would like to focus my box to be the base to create something like this: http://www.lovehulten.com/buyrkaidr.html I have the electronics know how, I only need the tools and the knowledge to build the box. Thanks
Answer from Kristle C. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
It should be okay. The basis of the class is to understand how to create mitered corners and the technique is useful in many areas of construction. We demonstrate and then the student follows the set project. A slight change in dimensions should be okay. We can't confirm that the teacher will have walnut (which appears in the image) but there should be a variety of hard woods available to chose from.
