Japanese Toolbox
Course Overview
Replace that plastic toolbox with a wooden one that reflects your appreciation for craftsmanship. The Japanese are known for their ability to meld simplicity and elegance in design. This traditional Japanese carpenter’s tool box demonstrates these qualities as does the ease of its construction. Traditionally, the toolbox held the basic handtools with specific spaces for hammer, pull saw and plane. The toolbox roughly measures 24" X 10" X 6" deep and will be customized to meet your needs. Students will complete the toolbox in two days using simple hand tools. Skills learned will include layout, joinery and proper use of saw and plane. This is an excellent class for those with few or no woodworking skills, and parent/grandparent and child partnerships.
