Students use cabinetmaking hand tools, a router, miter box, and saw to cut and shape wood. They learn the complete cycle of cutting, shaping, and assembling parts of a wood product, and perform basic cabinetmaking operations in the construction of a paper tray. A Danish oil finish is applied to the project. Students work from a drawing to learn about various types of joints, and measure wood to specifications.
