The TinkerMill has a wonderful and complete woodworking shop. We communicate using Slack in #woodshop for tool repair status and event coordination. The wood shop is a great place to learn basic woodworking and more advanced woodworking skills.'


Top things you should know about the Wood Shop


1. Woodshop classes are taught every month. You must take the Wood Shop Introduction and Safety class before using any of the power tools that are not hand power tools. All TinkerMill members can use hand non-powered and hand power tools. All larger power tools, such as the planer, drill press, chop saw can be used after taking a certification class. The ShopBot and Lathe have their own separate certification classes. See the MeetUp calendar for the coming classes.


2.The Wood Shop community night is every other week and it is a great place to get advice on how to approach a project or get finer points on wood craft.


3. The SawStop table saw is incredibly accurate, powerful and full of safety features. It can be used after the wood shop certification class.


4. Every uses of the space is responsible for cleaning up during and after your project. There is no cleaning service. If you don't clean up your mess another TinkerMill Member will be forced to clean up and you may loose privileges to use the space. Follow the 105% rule - Leave the space 5% better than the way you found it.

Classes

We are building classes that are offered in the Wood Shop. The Wood Shop is built on the idea that anyone can learn wood working and some people have varying levels of previous experience. The fictitious course numbers are provided as rough gauge of if the class is a beginner class or intermediate class. The Wood Shop Introduction and Safety Class is a prerequisite for all other classes and there are no other prerequisite classes unless specifically noted.
