learn how to cut your first dovetail joints



Learn how to produce 'through' dovetail joints on this one-day course.

Dovetail joints have been used for thousands of years and are seen as a mark of high craftsmanship. They are also tremendously strong joints, most commonly used in drawers, boxes and chests. During this one-day course, you will be taught David’s method of producing accurate, clean 'through' dovetail joints using traditional hand tools to mark and cut the joints. By the end of the day, you will have created a pair of dovetailed bookends in a beautiful hardwood.

This course costs £150, which includes a light lunch at either the onsite cafe or local pub and all materials.


This course is currently run on a one-to-one basis and can be arranged for a date that suits both parties.
