Our project-based beginning classes provide a thorough introduction to woodworking tools, techniques and machinery. As you build a small piece of furniture, you'll learn how to safely operate the workshorses of the wood shop: table saws, jointers, planers, bandsaws and more. You'll learn about wood selection, milling, joinery, scraping, sanding, assembly and finishing. Classes are centered on specific projects, with a different theme each session. This session, everyone will build a solid wood Shaker style bench. An additional $60 materials fee is due to the instructor on the first day of class. Prerequisite: Woodworking Safety Orientation. Students who have not met prerequisites will be withdrawn and subject to the withdraw policy.
