Intro to Woodworking

Every great piece of furniture starts as a rough, unremarkable board. So will yours.

In this 3-hour foundational workshop, you’ll start with rough-sawn Missouri hardwood and do what real woodworkers do: mill it flat, square, and true on our jointer, planer, and table saw. Then you’ll turn that board into a mitered box with a fitted lid and a plywood bottom set into a dado. It’s one project that packs the core skills of the craft into something you’ll actually use.

What you’ll learn:

• Milling rough lumber into a square, true board
• Cutting precise miters for tight, clean corners
• Cutting a dado to house a box bottom
• Glue-up, assembly, and finishing

Brand new to the shop? This is your starting line. Been away from the bench for a while? Consider it your reset. Either way, you’ll leave with a finished box you built from scratch and the woodworking mindset to tackle whatever’s next.
