In this 5-day course you will enjoy the experience of crafting and fitting a classic drawer.

Published in 1938 in the Woodworker Magazine, the well-respected maker and prolific author Charles Hayworth wrote, “Perhaps there is nothing which so quickly reveals the quality of a piece of woodwork as the fitting of its drawer”.

Participants will be making a small sample drawer to enable them to explore the finer points
of drawer construction and fitting.

The course will also include:

• selecting and preparing the stock

• the sequence for truing the parts in preparation for laying out

• hand cutting both through and lapped dovetails

• the approach to gluing up the drawer

• approaches to drawer slips and bottoms

• the final fitting of the drawer to a simple carcase box (provided)

• review of carcass construction

• correcting faults

• course notes covering content also included
