Join us for Open Shop Hours!Our Wednesday evening sessions are designed for folks to work on their own woodworking project, with safety training and guidance from industry professionals.
WHERE: Foss Waterway Seaport, 705 Dock Street, Tacoma, WA 98402
WHEN: Wednesdays, 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM.
Registration REQUIRED in advance at our website: https://www.fosswaterwayseaport.org/boat-shop-foss-waterway-seaport
Regardless of experience level, each participant will complete a safety orientation before they can be checked off to use tools. This process can take a while depending on how many folks attend Open Shop, so if you wish to move through the tool trainings more quickly, please reach out to schedule a private lesson.
MATERIALS
Participants must bring their own wood and hardware materials, the shop can supply small consumables such as sandpaper and glue.
STORAGE
We do not supply storage space between sessions unless previously arranged, so be prepared to bring your project home with you.
REGISTRATION
Please register online BEFORE Open Shop (ideally by Tuesday). Occasionally, if no one has signed up, we will go home early. We don't want you to show up to an empty shop. Just register ahead of time!
IS OPEN SHOP RIGHT FOR ME?
Open Shop is designed for intermediate to advanced woodworkers, but everyone is welcome to participate. Beginner woodworkers may have to be a little more patient, as you will need more tool trainings and power tool supervision. This is not a formal class setting, so folks should be prepared to work independently on their projects. If you need ideas for good beginner projects or have more questions, please reach out to Cori to see if Open Shop could be a good fit for you!
Ages 16+, all minors under 18 must have an accompanying adult.
QUESTIONS?
These sessions are led by Cori Shooter, Boat Shop Manager, and a team of trusty volunteers. Please reach out directly with any questions.
