Dutch Tool Chest Class & Woodworking Bazaar

Posted on by fitz

There are still a few spots left in my Dutch Tool Chest class, Oct. 30-Nov. 1 in London, England. In the class, you’ll learn some fundamental hand-tool woodworking skills (planing, sawing and chisel use, as you cut dados, rabbets, dovetails, thumbnail mouldings, chamfers and more – plus how and why to use cut nails) as you build a solid tool chest that will serve you (and your heirs) well for many years. (Note: It also makes an excellent toy chest – kids love the hidden compartment!)

Plus, tickets are go on sale Sat., June 22, for the London IWF Bazaar on Fri., Nov. 1 and Sat. Nov. 2. The bazaar will feature Saturday seminars, with talks on 18th-century furniture, cricket tables, peasant furniture, Shaker furniture, saw sharpening and more, as well as the following vendors: Classic Hand Tools, Lie-Nielsen Toolwords, Lost Art Press (hey – that’s us!), Bad Axe Toolworks, Ian Parker, The Windsor Workshop, Niegel Melfi/Melfi Planes, Michel Auriou, Richard Arnold, Veritas, Sean Hellman, Skelton Saws, St.John Starkie & Bryony Roberts/The Quiet Workshop, Oscar Rush/Hand Forged Edge Tools, Philip Edwards/Philly Planes, Southern Fellowship of Woodworkers, Furniture Maker’s Company, Lowfat Roubo /Derek Jones, G-Sharp Tools/Gervaise Evans, Festool UK, Lamello.

The courses and the bazaar are at the London Design & Engineering UTC, 15 University Way, London E16 2RD.

Holds all this, with room to spare.
Any excuse to show off my Olivia!

  1. Fitz,
    As the first commenter here, I’m not quite sure how to behave…..

    My initial comment was along the lines of; now that Pandora’s box is open, who will be the first to ask what each and every tool is…..

    Them I thought, maybe that is covered in the book….

    Speaking of the “book”………..

    Nope. Nada. Ain’t gonna do it…….

    Have a fabulous and great weekend. And, to all the in Covington as well.

    1. You’re allowed to ask about the book now – now that I’ve turned in the manuscript! That means it may actually come out this year 🙂

      Those tools are what I need to travel with for an ATC class – what’s in mine changes, depending on what I’m teaching.

  2. the pic with all the tools on the bench makes me want to empty mine and compare…i think i might have 2x as many in mine. yes they hold a surprising amount! I’ve built a lower box with a similar style Fall front though without the lock. instead I used a longer lip on the top of the panel so the door opens like the access panel on a home HVAC. it’s a great way to expand the storage. i can fit a jack plane front to back in the bottom one.

    1. My lower box has a cabinet latch on it, so I can get to it easily. I almost never travel with that one, though.

  3. oops meant to ask a question. i noticed the saw rack has 7 slots. are you able to fit 7 saws simultaneously? what is the spacing on the slots?

  4. Thank you. It’s always a pleasure to see the skirt lifted! Metaphorically speaking, of course.
