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. This is a hands-on course and students will be given a piece of wood to cut and shape according to specific measurements.

To use the shop, you will also need to attend our free one-hour Orientation to the Woodshop class.

Woodshop Tool Safety 1 will qualify you to use the following tools during Open Studio time and in classes that require certification in these tools: 

• Table saw
• Grizzly planer/Cantak 15-inch planer
• Small and large jointer
• Chop saw
• Drill press (3 different drill presses)

Details:

• A $3 materials fee to cover wood will be added to the class fee when you register and pay.
• You will get more out of this class if you first view videos that cover these tools. (Hint: You can go back to these at any time to review safety protocols. Find them on the BARN website, BainbridgeBARN.org, by clicking on the Woodshop page, under the "Studio" menu.)
