This 4.5-hour workshop teaches how to use the large stationary woodworking machines in Clear Creek Makerspace all in the context of contructing a small box with a lid. We'll be using designs and techniques heavily inspired by Matt Kenney's "52 Boxes in 52 Weeks." $125 per participant ($100 for CCM members using their discount code).
Partcipants will be introduced to each machine, provided operational overview, safety considerations, and receive hands-on experience.
At the end of this course you will receive an email to the CCM Woodshop Quiz. Passing this short quiz is part of the requirement for members to gain personal woodshop access.
No prior experience needed for this course, all supplies and materials are provided.
Please wear comfortable well-fitted clothing, close-toed shoes, put your hair up, and be prepared to get a little dirty!
