This class is intended for all women, including cisgender and transgender women, as well as nonbinary people who feel comfortable in a space centered on the experiences of women. (If this isn’t you, we offer similar classes and workshops open to all—check out our full schedule on seattlereconomy.org/events.) Instructor Lynette, a cisgender woman, will lead this class on commonly used power saws – circular, miter/chop, table, and jig.

This is a beginner class geared toward those who have no or very little experience using these tools. Attendees will learn about saw anatomy, how to choose the correct saw for various tasks while emphasizing safety and workspace set up. Attendees will have a chance to handle each type of saw and practice some basic cuts.Students are required to bring safety glasses and hearing protection.

About the instructor, Lynette: Lynette has been using these types of tools for 25–30 years, and she has been informally teaching our tool library members.

Our sliding scale for classes helps to reduce barriers for participation while retaining sufficient income for Seattle REconomy, which owns and operates the NE Seattle and Shoreline tool libraries. Please choose the level that best fits your family’s income.
