Learn the skills to create a custom walnut cutting board, while building confidence with woodworking tools. All members will go home with a completed cutting board, as well as get credit for completing the required safety orientation to sign up for Open Hours at the woodshop.

The space is equipped with a large SawStop table saw, 12″ compound sliding miter saw, 2 band saws (one for resaw), drill press, router table, jointer, planer, spindle sander, scroll saw, and various hand tools.

Note: members will complete all steps of the process in a single session, but due to glueing requirements, students will be finishing and taking home previously glued projects. The boards they glue will be used for the next class! This way everyone gets to experience the entire build process in a single session.

You must be a member of NE Seattle Tool Library or Shoreline Tool Library to take this class. Become a member here! You may take this class as a refresher if you have already attended a regular Workshop Orientation.
