About this Event

The Woodshop Safety Class is a required class for BMS members who would like to use the woodshop. We will go over our safety policies, emergency procedures and the safe, effective and conscientious use of our woodshop.

For each tool, we will discuss

  • Setup & tool check to be done before operation
  • Safe and effective use of the tool
  • Dust collection for each tool
  • Cleanup and readying the tool for the next user.

This class is for both experienced woodworkers and those new to woodworking.

Tools we will cover:

  • Sliding Compound Miter Saw
  • Jointer
  • Planer
  • Table Saw
  • Drill Press
  • Band Saw

Makerspace members can use the woodshop for personal projects after taking this class.

This is NOT a wood working skills course, it is only focused on the safe operation of the tools in our makerspace wood shop.
