They will make a small chest with advanced joinery. If you liked the first woodworking class, then you’ll love this one! For anyone that has already taken this Advanced class then you will make a different project. You and the instructor can decide on a different individual project.

This class will take only a maximum of 6 students, so the participants get a lot of personal attention. Sign up early so you don’t miss out!
