Make a Cutting Board 101 (Members Only)

Did you just get signed off on the bandsaw, jointer, and planer? Want to hone those skills making something beautiful that you can use every day? Join us as we turn a piece of rough lumber into a finished cutting board. The class will give you firsthand experience processing rough lumber, as well as working with wood finishes, to produce a beautiful workpiece perfect for giving as a gift. We will be making a large edge grain cutting board from a solid piece of sapele wood.

Instructor: Patrick Callahan

This class has a $60 fee for members. The class is available to paying members of Tampa Hackerspace who have completed both the Wood Shop Safety and Bandsaw/Jointer/Planer classes.

For more information about becoming a paying member of Tampa Hackerspace, please visit http://tampahackerspace.com/membership/.

The class is being led by Patrick Callahan. Patrick is a professional amateur, driven by a compulsion to make things and an unrelenting sense of curiosity. He has spent time in cabinet shops, but he is mostly self-taught. He has built his skillsets in woodworking, and making in general, through projects, projects, projects! Patrick has built some beautiful cutting boards, but his true strength is his ability to solve the problem in front of him, whatever that may be.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Closed toe shoes are required to enter the woodshop area. If you are not appropriately dressed, you will be asked to return for the next available class.
