Box Making 107

This one day class is the seventh in a series of “ The Art of Building Exotic Wooden Boxes”. In this class we will be constructing a Mini Tea Box to hold four varieties of your favorite teas.

This would make a great wedding gift or use it to impress your guests at your next dinner party. This class would be a good starter for someone wanting to get into some of the more advanced classes on box making.

Students will build a 7 x 7 x4 inch box

The box will be band sawn in half

The top will now be hinged to the bottom.

Dividers will now be installed

A knob will be attached to the top

All materials necessary for the class project will be supplied.

Any personal protective gear they have. If they don't have eye and hearing protection, it will be provided.

Students must be 14 years old or older. Any student under 18 years of age must be accompanied by and under the direct supervision of a responsible adult.

Don has exhibited his work at over 500 Art and Craft shows all over the country, including the prestigious Smithsonian Craft Show. In 2011, Don was commissioned by the US State Department to design and build cuff link boxes to hold the Presidential cuff links given to visiting dignitaries. In early 2018, Don retired from the show circuit and started the South Florida Woodworking School, which he sold in early 2020 and moved back to Massachusetts, where he is currently teaching at the local Woodcraft store, Artisans Asylum, and privately.
