About

Learn basic safety principles of key woodworking power tools with the goal of being checked out to use them during the BARN Woodshop's 30 hours a week of open studio time.

Everyone who uses the new shop during open studio time will need to be certified to use these tools. The tools are in many cases different than the ones that were in BARN's temporary woodshop in Rolling Bay, so having been certified there is not sufficient. Certification is also a pre-requisite for advanced woodworking classes.

In this class, you will get hands-on experience with these tools:

• Table saw
• 15” planer
• Jointer
• Chop saw
• Band saw (14, 16 & 18 in)
• Scroll saw
• Drill press

Details:

• Our free, one-hour Orientation to the Woodshop class is required before you take this class. Multiple options are listed on the BARN calendar.

• Please dress in the same way you will be expected to do when you use the shop for open studio time. That means:

• Wear close-toe shoes.
• Bring and wear safety glasses.
• Wear hearing protectors when warranted; bring your own or use BARN's.
• Tie back long hair. Avoid loose-fitting clothing; roll up sleeves.
