Keepsake Box Workshop
Join Dykes With Drills at The Workshop NOLA!
Learn woodworking skills while making a beautiful box with sliding lid. In this workshop you will use the miter saw, router table, drill press, and brad nailers to construct the box. The box has a sliding lid and the dimensions can be customized to fit your needs (max box size is 14" x 10" x 5"). If time permits, you will be able to sand your box and apply a coat of polyurethane or oil to finish it. At the end of the workshop you will leave with some new skills and a beautifully finished wood box that you can gift to someone else or keep for yourself to hold your favorite things. All materials are included in the cost of the class. This class is open to all! No woodworking experience required.

COVID-19 Protocols
Your safety is our highest priority, so we have put safety protocols in place for all of our in-person workshops to keep everyone safe. Those protocols are:
All instructors, assistants, and participants will be required to show proof of vaccinations and wear masks while attending workshops. We do not have enough masks to provide to everyone, so you will be required to provide your own mask.
Everyone should follow recommended safety precautions, such as coughing into your elbow and refraining from touching their face.
All of the tools, equipment, door handles, cabinet and drawer handles, etc. that are touched will be disinfected both before and after the workshop.
