About this event

Have you wanted to do some woodworking but aren't sure where to start? Or maybe you already own carpentry tools but don't know how to use them? This is the class for you!

Join us for a hands-on and skill-building tour around a carpenter's shop. Come learn the basics so you can start building on your own!
This is a skills-based class where you will learn how to use tools but you will not make a project to take home.

Topics covered:

  • Measuring and marking, including secrets of measuring tapes and speed squares
  • Using drills effectively
  • Discussion of what types of materials to use indoors vs. outdoors
  • How to use chop saws safely
  • Introduction to brad nailers and air tools

Skill level: This class is great for beginners ages 18 and over as well as 16 and 17 year-olds with parent or guardian permission.

Class Schedule: This class will run for 3 hours with no break planned

Price: We have moved to a sliding scale pricing model while funding allows! Choose which tier fits your situation best:

$120 - Pay-It-Forward Ticket: Helps fund access for others.

$95 - True Cost Ticket: Covers the actual cost of running the class.

$70 - Neighborly Rate Ticket: For those with limited expendable income.
