GIFKINS DOVETAIL LIVE-THE TRINKET BOX, PART 1

SUN 13DEC20, PART 1: TIMBER PREP FOR THE TRINKET BOX

Our new project is the Trinket box—an uneven-sided box with a hinged lid. This session focuses on preparing the timber for the box.

Col will discuss the characteristics of various timbers, and how to choose and prepare your timber. He will also show how to set up the jig to cut the uneven-sided frame.

We hope you enjoy Col’s box making demonstrations. He’s an experienced teacher and woodworker who enjoys sharing his knowledge.

GIFKINS DOVETAIL LIVE-THE DESKTOP BOX, PART 4

SUN 06DEC20, PART 4: FINISHING THE DESKTOP BOX

Last week, Col sanded back the overlapping joints, then separated the lid from the top of the frame.

So, in this session Col will ‘window dress’ the box by making the internal sleeves and make a false floor for the baize. Oh! …and do some router work to put some details on the outside of the box.

Most importantly, Col will demonstrate and explain the process of sanding the box…how to start and how to finish!

We hope you enjoy Col’s box making demonstrations. He’s an experienced teacher and woodworker who enjoys sharing his knowledge.
