Description: A beautiful wooden cutting board is more than a kitchen tool. It's a work of art that adds grace and warmth to your home. It's so much fun to design and make it yourself, and if you gift it, it will be treasured. In this virtual workshop, we'll provide a hunk of solid hardwood around 11- 12" wide and 18-20" long. Then, we'll guide you in designing & 3D modeling your cutting board. Will it be a rectangle with rounded edges? A personalized charcuterie board? Hexagonal? Round? A traditional German breadboard with a handle? Your board design is up to you, constrained only by the inherent limitations of the wood itself. Your finished design will be cut on our Shopbot CNC router by staff. You complete the final sanding and finishing at home, using the sandpaper & finishing oil we provide. Everything will be packaged for pick up following Covid19 protocols. (Shipping can be arranged for an additional fee).In this virtual workshop, students will create small woodworking projects while learning the basics of Autodesk's 3D design and modeling software, Fusion 360. We will use the software to design and 3D model small wooden projects for production, such as a box, a sign, or a surface with geometric pattern. We will then learn how to prepare our designs for cutting on the CNC router. Final products will be cut on our Shopbot CNC router by staff and packaged for pick up following Covid 19 protocols. (Shipping can be arranged for an additional fee). Everyone will need a standard 3-button mouse. This is a live virtual class taught on the Zoom platform. Students must have a stable internet connection, and must download the free Zoom application before class begins.
