Build your confidence & skills in the woodshop!
Join us in the woodshop for this 3-hour skill-building workshop!
This is a unique class on skills and safety for the home shop taught by our founder, Steffi Dotson. No specific project will be built, but students will learn safe practices on tools that you’d normally find in a home woodshop. Specific tools covered will be jigsaw, router and circular saw. Bring your questions to class. We’re happy to answer questions as we work. If time allows, we can show other tools in the woodshop as well.
Materials are provided. We recommend students bring their own eye protection, ear protection & apron. Aprons for sale here.
No experience necessary. Ages 18+ welcome.
