About

This class has a prerequisite. Please see below.

Learn to use the VCarve Pro software program to design and cut inlays on the Woodworking Studio's CNC router.

For the first session, the class will meet in the Electronics & Technical Arts lab to review VCarve Pro, discuss inlays and start design.

The remaining sessions will be in the Woodworking Studio. At the second session, you will review/finalize designs, learn safe operation of the CNC router, set up your project, cut the materials (walnut and maple), and glue them up. At the third session, you will cut off excess inlay material and sand the inlays.

Details:

  • Open to students 14 years old and older who have taken VCarve Pro for CNC Routing.
  • BARN is practicing safety measures for the health and well-being of all participants, in accordance with state and CDC guidelines. Everyone in the studios is required to wear masks, wash or sanitize hands frequently, maintain a distance of 6 feet between individuals, and stay home if they are sick. Overall BARN safety policies are here. Woodworking Studio-specific safety policies are here.
  • In addition to the mask requirement, when you are working in the Woodworking Studio, you must wear safety glasses and closed-toe shoes, tie back long hair, and avoid loose-fitting clothing and jewelry. We recommend bringing your own safety glasses.
  • Tuition assistance is available. Click here to apply.

Instructor: Al Ebken is a retired ocean engineer with many years of computer and computer-aided design experience. (In the picture, he's using the Woodworking Studio's CNC router to make parts for face shields to protect against coronavirus infection. Using VCarve Pro, he also made the hummingbird inlay shown in the top picture.)
