Class Description
This is the second in our series of classes for new and intermediate woodworkers. In this class you will have exposure to wood shop safety and the proper use of hand and stationary power tools. You'll learn how to properly operate a jointer, planer, table saw, miter saw, sander and router as you make the components for a cutting board.
Beyond just learning the ins and outs of power tools, Char will walk you through proper glue up and clamping techniques to avoid tedious clean up, wood alignment issues, and the different clamp styles generally used for woodworking projects. Finally, the class will end with how to finish and maintain your cutting board for years of use; or so it really pops when someone special unwraps it as a finely handcrafted present!
This class will provide you with the confidence and knowledge to know your way around shop tools, so you can get a jump start on your woodworking hobby, career, or side gig!
This class is less intense than our other Fundamentals of Woodworking class, but covers the same fundamental tool skills.
Please bring the following items with you to class:
- Pencil
- Combination Square (If you have one)
- Tape Measure
- Dial Caliper (If you have one)
- Comfortable Eye Protection
- Dust Mask
For your safety, be sure to wear closed toe footwear and remove all jewelry before class.
