The dovetail jig and box making inservicing is designed for teachers at high schools and colleges, and mentors and group leaders at woodworking groups.
The courses provide a detailed knowledge of the jig and box making techniques. Each educator will then set box making projects that meet curriculum standards in course content and safety awareness.
Mentors and group leaders at woodworking groups and mens’ sheds will also benefit from the course. A course with Col Hosie will provide accurate information on how to use of the jig, and to help beginners design and make simple box making projects.
Each of the courses is explained at Box making courses by Col Hosie
