Community Classes are focused on growing the woodworking community, teaching basic woodworking skills and increasing access to tools and wood. These classes are run by skilled volunteers and build one small project completed in only a few hours. The class sizes are kept small and the number of tools used is limited. Each person attending the class must sign up individually regardless of payment amount. What to bring: If you have any of these tools please bring them but we have plenty that you can borrow as well. * Pencil and paper * Measuring tape (8′ to 12′) * Combination Square * Eye protection * Hearing protection * Dust protection * Water Bottle This project is supported in part by an elevate grant of Arts, Culture, Music, and Entertainment.
