- 3-days
- Max 2 people

The Castle Joint Table workshop is a joinery-focused build designed to sharpen accuracy, fit, and clean execution—skills that separate “assembled” from truly crafted.
Over three days, you’ll build a compact table using the distinctive castle joint, known for its structural strength and bold visual character. You’ll learn how to approach the build like a furniture maker: precise layout, consistent measuring, safe machine workflow for repeatable cuts, and refined fitting techniques to achieve cleaner joints.
