**PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A TWO DAY CLASS WITH TWO SEPARATE SESSIONS ON TUES THE 13TH AND WED THE 14TH OF MAY 2025
Have you already taken an intro woodshop class? Want to tackle something more than another cutting board? This class will educate students on more intermediate to advanced woodworking concepts and use of equipment. Students will leave with their own custom frame made from a selection of hardwoods, and gain more advanced techniques using the following equipment and skills:

Table, Miter, & Bandsaws
Joiner
Planer
Drill press
Combination & Orbital Sanders
Router Table
Applying finish

Structure: This class will have two (2) weeknight group sessions, where the entire cohort will work through constructing their own picture frame. The instructor will offer optional "office hour" sessions by appointment to aid students with completing their projects and provide further guidance. However, students are encouraged to join HackPGH and utilize the makerspace at their own convenience to independently use the woodshop and other shop areas such as our CNC, welding bench, 3D printers, laser cutter, computer lab, Soft Arts, and more!
