Workshop Basics

In this 2.5 hour class, we will walk through the most commonly used tools in the workshop as we move from Raw Lumber to Dressed 4 Sides (D4S), ending with a fully finished single piece Cutting Board of your own design!

The main project in this course can be completed by most within 2 hours time.  This leaves plenty of time for additional instruction on all machines as required, as well as to detail & finish your project.

You will receive training on the safe usage of the following tools: band saw, miter saw, jointer, planer, table saw, router table,  and drill press. You will have ample time to try out each tool.

This is a Required course for anyone wishing to use the Workshop tools at Halifax Tool Library, Regardless of Individual Skill Level.    

Please dress appropriately for working in a woodshop:
Closed-toe shoes, hair tied in the back, no loose clothing or long baggy sleeves.

If you have your own Safety Glasses & Ear Protection we recommend you bring them, but we do have some on hand!
