Entirely By Hand: The 18th Century Pipe Box

Build a colonial style pipe box entirely with hand tools. In this Guest Artist Workshop with furniture maker Jeremy Tritchler, you'll explore an array of traditional hand tools used to resaw boards into thin stock, gauges and knives for marking and layout, planing and squaring boards to final dimensions, and sawing decorative curves with fret or coping saws. These boxes are great for holding items today such as taper candles and make a beautiful edition to any home. Registration in the Guest Artist Workshop also covers enrollment in 9999. Guest Artist DEMO: Entirely by Hand: The Art of Inlay.

Jeremy Tritchler is a hand tool woodworker specializing in 18th century cabinetmaking at Colonial Williamsburg. After receiving a bachelor's degree in geology from the University of Wyoming, he worked for several years as an exploration geologist in Utah. A long-time woodworking hobbyist, Jeremy eventually started taking part time woodworking classes at Salt Lake Community College where he decided to make a career change into furniture making. With some encouragement from his teacher, Jeremy moved with his wife to Boston where he graduated from the North Bennet Street School cabinet and furniture making program. After graduating he continued at the school as an adjunct instructor while taking on private commissions and working for an architectural mill. Currently Jeremy works as a cabinetmaker at Colonial Williamsburg where he reproduces 18th century furniture. He has been published in Mortise and Tenon Magazine, and he has been featured on Fine Woodworking’s blog.

Outside of work, Jeremy can often be found in his garage building something or spending time with his wife and daughter while exercising his dad jokes.
