The Green Woodshop

Learn to use two essential hand tools.

Students will primarily work with hand planes and chisels, while making a pine candle box, with rabbeted corner joints, and a sliding lid.

Candle boxes were used in early New England households to protect candles, but this traditional design has evolved into a functional and beautiful storage box for all kinds of keepsakes.

Build confidence using basic hand tools, and gain practical experience in the workshop, while making your own traditional candle box.
