Woodworking

Tinkermill has a full 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.

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.

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.

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