Learn how to produce 'through' and ‘lapped’ 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' and ‘lapped’ dovetail joints using traditional hand tools to mark and cut the joints.



This course costs £330.00, which includes a light lunch at either the onsite cafe or local pub and all materials.


This course can be arranged for a date that suits both parties.
