This beginner woodworking class will aim to educate students on basic concepts and safe use of wood shop equipment, while crafting a beautiful and custom wooden cutting or bread board from a selection of hardwoods. Students will leave with an understanding and safety training on the following equipment and skills:* Table, Band, & Miter Saws
* Planer
* Jointer
* Orbital Sander
* Using wood glue and clamps
* Applying finish
* Router/Router cabinet (optional)
* Drill press (optional)
Structure: This class will have one group session, where the entire cohort will work through constructing their boards step by step with help from the instructor. Students will have the option of creating a cutting board from one piece of wood or doing a "glue-up" from multiple strips of different hardwoods. There will be a one-hour lunch break near the middle of the day for a takeout lunch, so please contact us with any allergies or sensitivities. The instructor will offer one optional "office hour" session by appointment to aid students with their projects and provide further guidance.
