Create a Bandsaw Box

Turn a piece of wood into a beautifully crafted bandsaw box! This class is perfect for woodworkers looking to expand their bandsaw skills beyond simple rip and crosscuts. Whether working with a solid wood block or a laminated piece, you’ll create an organically shaped box that is both artistic and functional.

In this hands-on class, you will design and build a simple one-drawer box using primarily a bandsaw. You'll learn essential techniques such as shaping organic forms, reading wood grain, and making precise rip and crosscuts. Choose to create your own unique design or follow a provided template.

This workshop is designed for those with basic woodworking and bandsaw experience. Along the way, you’ll gain skills in:

• Bandsaw and shop safety
• Layout and preparation (starting square, designing your shape)
• Cutting and shaping (creating smooth organic forms)
• Bandsaw box Drawer construction
• Gluing and assembly
• Sanding techniques (refining curves with various sanding machines)
• Finishing options (completed during or after the class)
