Following the Planing Element is our classic hand-cut dovetailed ‘bookend’ module which has now been expanded to cover two days in order to allow more time and care over carrying out your most accurate marking and cutting of a set of through dovetails,  which will at the completion of the 2 days be assembled into a basic L bookend shape and size.

.

The dovetailed bookend has remained a classic teaching module because once all the skills have been mastered to complete one to a reasonable degree of competence you can go on to do almost any furniture making – you will be able to sharpen planes & chisels; use planes to accurately square, flatten & prepare components to size;  accurately mark up joints; hand saw and chisel to a fine knife line and assemble and glue joints.

If you go on to prepare surface and polish you have the whole range of wood skills required for most furniture and cabinet making projects.
