About this Event
Sign up for Woodshop Orientation to learn the basic safety of the tools that we have in our Woodshop. This will give you the basic training required to safely utilize our various woodworking tools, and it will give you the prerequisite to use the space during Woodshop Open Hours.
The space is equipped with a large SawStop table saw, 12″ compound sliding miter saw, 2 band saws (one for resaw), drill press, router table, jointer, planer, spindle sander, scroll saw, and various hand tools.
Prerequisite:
You must be a Seattle REconomy tool library (NE Seattle Tool Library/Shoreline Tool Library) member to take this class. There are suggested membership options, but membership is pay-what-you-can, and we do not require proof of income. Learn more about becoming a member here!
Email us at [email protected] if you have any questions on Woodshop usage. Please come to the East entrance of the NE Seattle Tool Library at the time of the class. When you arrive through that entrance, the Wookshop is through the door in the left corner of the space.
Our sliding scale for classes helps to reduce barriers for participation while retaining sufficient income for Seattle REconomy, which owns and operates the NE Seattle and Shoreline tool libraries. Please choose the level that best fits your family’s income. If cost is a concern, we encourage you to contact us at [email protected] to discuss options.
