Class: Make a Hand Saw Till with Tom Calisto (2 Days)

***This class is not currently being offered. Click here if you want us to consider offering it again in the future. 

Spend two days making your own hand saw till, to store your heirloom hand saws & back saws. Tom Calisto will guide you through making a hand saw till to store your traditional hand saws and back saws. Students will learn how to cut through-mortise & tenon joints and dovetail joints, in addition to other wood shaping skills. This class is right before Tom's dovetail & tenon saw making class, so join us for both! We'd like to thank Dan Klauder for use of his saw till design.
