Woodshop Orientation (09/29/2026)

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 22:00:00 GMT

Woodshop Orientation & Basic Tool Use

The Woodshop Orientation is designed to ensure that all members understand The Mint’s woodshop policies, procedures, and expectations for maintaining a safe, clean, and welcoming shared workspace. Participants will learn about shop safety, proper cleanup, dust collection, material restrictions, tool care, and the responsibilities that come with using a community woodshop.

During the class, participants will also learn or demonstrate the safe and proper use of the primary woodworking tools available for member use. The goal is to make sure everyone has the knowledge and confidence needed to work safely and independently in the shop, whether you are an experienced woodworker or completely new to woodworking.

As a bonus, everyone will put those skills to work by making their own custom piece (spatula, cheeseboard, etc.) to take home. This simple hands-on project provides an opportunity to practice several of the techniques covered during the orientation while creating something useful.

No previous woodworking experience is required.

This orientation is intended for all members who would like to use The Mint woodshop independently. By the end of this class, you’ll have both a handcrafted wooden piece and the skills needed to independently and safely use The MINT’s woodshop.

Come on everybody—let's make some sawdust!
