A fun beginner’s course where we will learn about the bandsaw and the creative possibilities of making a bandsaw box.

Based on a long, continuous blade that is stretched between two wheels, a bandsaw makes it easy to cut straight or curved lines. Over two days you will learn about the varied skills involved in using a bandsaw for the subtractive process of creating a wooden box with a fitted lid. As well as carving and shaping your piece, you’ll also have the option of adding texture and colour.

Come with an idea or sketch in mind or work from a template to cut; carve and possibly paint your finished bandsaw box to take home and enjoy.

There will be an hour for lunch between 1–2pm.
