    Come on everybody—let's make some sawdust!

    Take a tour through the woodshop and get hands-on experience with some of the most commonly used woodworking tools. This orientation is perfect for beginners and also fulfills the requirements to become independently certified to use the woodshop during member hours.

    What You’ll Learn

    In this class, you’ll master the safe operation of:

    • Compound Miter Saw (Chopsaw): For precise crosscuts and angled cuts.
    • SawStop Table Saw: For ripping boards to size with advanced safety features.
    • Jointer and Planer: For creating smooth, flat, and uniform surfaces.
    • Hand Tools and Measuring Techniques: Learn the basics of shaping, sanding, and measuring for a polished finish.

    Safety First

    No prior experience is necessary! We’ll provide all the guidance and tools you need. Bring your own safety glasses if you prefer, or borrow a pair from us.
