Woodshop & Woodworking

Get a broad understanding of navigating a well-equipped wood shop while learning the safety basics through practice. In this course, makers will begin with un-milled lumber and process it through various wood shop machines to get hands-on experience with multiple tools in the shop, resulting in a mini hat/key/scarf rack to take home with them!

What you’ll learn:

• Sawing lumber to length
• Face joining to create reference faces
• Planing to a specific thickness using reference face and proper wood orientation
• Tablesaw instruction for ripping and crosscutting material
• Drill press instruction
• Band saw detailing
• Router table detailing
• Disc & belt sander use, handheld random orbital sander

• Please Note:
  Workshop attendees will need to be properly outfitted to attend this course. This includes: closed-toed shoes, long pants preferred, and a way to secure long hair.
• Safety equipment, including protective glasses and hearing protection, are provided by MAKE Santa Fe but bring yours if you have them.  
• Students must be at least 16 years of age.  Minors must have parental permission and a signed waiver (ask us).
