Freeside Atlanta

Freeside is chock full of tools that you can use to build almost anything. With these great tools comes great responsibility, so this class is meant to teach individuals who are new to woodworking how to properly operate the equipment, and also to serve as check-off for all new members (even experienced ones) who plan to use the shop.

This class is FREE to Freeside's members, and non-members can sign up here on Meetup. Questions? Send an email to hello@freesideatlanta.org!

Required attire:

• Closed-toed boots/shoes
• Long sleeves or tee shirt
• Safety eyewear (provided by Freeside)

Tools that will be introduced:

• Band Saw
• Drill Press
• Miter Saw
• Table Saw
• Jointer
• Planer

We’ll start in the chill space to design/make the stamps, and then cut them in the laser room. Depending on how many folks show up, that might be in batches.

Freeside is having a build-out! Freeside members get to flex their right to hack on the space infrastructure and hack Freeside itself into a collective vision. Non-members are welcome and encouraged to come and help us hack the space! We could always use extra hands for buildouts and are happy to show you around the space.

Make sure to wear closed-toe shoes and fitted clothing, and be ready to get your hands dirty! Freeside has safety goggles and ear protection, but feel free to bring your own.

We will pretty much be there all day, come when you can.

Some of the projects we're focusing on include:
• Laying in dust collection for the workshop
• Sorting and storing recent donations
• Workshop cleanup and organization.
• Proving P is equal to NP.
• Squaring the circle.
• . . . And more to be announced!

Come out and hack on the space with us!

This class is designed for women who have wanted to learn how to use power tools or improve the skill you currently have. You will learn how to use a circular saw, drill, and jigsaw and leave with a completed project. To quote a friend, "I can make anything with these 3 tools." My hope is that you will have the confidence to undertake wood working projects and repairs on your own. And have some fun doing it!

See you soon!
