Jointer & Planer : BUS (Basic Use and Safety)

In this Basic Use and Safety workshop, students will learn how to safely set up and use the pair of machines needed for milling lumber foursquare: the jointer & planer. We will cover machine set up and ergonomic best practices for working with solid wood.

Completion of this single, 2hr class certifies students to use equipment independently as a member or a non-member on a day pass.

Requirements

Students must come to class with appropriate attire, which includes closed-toe shoes, long pants, and hair tied back. Makerspace NYC will provide safety glasses and ear protection. Open to all, ages 18+

A woodturner by trade, Farcee is a genderqueer craftsperson and artist with a wide range of experience in working with a variety of mediums, everything from rejected lumber scraps to resin-infused carrots. The act of revealing things from otherwise-rejected and unexpected things is at the heart of her work. Farcee teaches classes at Makerspace NYC and Bien Hecho Academy in Brooklyn.
