Wood Shop 101 - Introduction to Milling & Shop Clean-up

We will cover all the machines necessary to mill a piece of lumber in preparation for a project.

Machines include the following:

• Miter Saw

• Planer

• Jointer

• Table Saw

There will also be a detailed tour of the woodshop highlighting the sanding area, hardware, and tool storage.

Class is open to ages 16 and up, though minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. The adult must purchase an additional ticket to attend the class.

Guests are asked to be on time for events. If the safety briefing is missed, the guest will not be able to join the class and no refunds will be given.

Any jewelry on the hands and wrist must be removed and that no loose clothing is worn. Closed-toed shoes are required. Safety goggles will be provided. If you wear prescription glasses, you may want to bring your own eye protection. Hearing protection is optional, bring your own if desired.
