About the Workshop

The Workshop at the NE Seattle Tool Library is a place for Tool Library members to work on projects with a knowledgeable shop steward. The space is equipped with a large SawStop table saw, 12″ compound sliding miter saw, band saw, drill press, router table, jointer, planer, spindle sander, scroll saw, and various hand tools. We are excited to help give you the space to work on any personal projects you have.

To begin using this space, you must attend a Workshop Orientation Class. This is for safety and liability reasons, and we will teach the basic safety of our workshop tools. Please see our Event Calendar to sign up. This class $25-$75 depending on a self-select sliding scale based on your household income. 

You can work on your projects during off hours, but you must sign up for Workshop Open hours with one of our stewards. You can find our upcoming Workshop Open Hours on our Event Calendar. We charge a $15 fee to access the shop and recommend a donation of $15 per hour of usage. Your donations help keep our workshop open. You are able to pay any additional time via a QR code once you have completed your time in the shop.

Members of either of our locations may use the Workshop at the NE Seattle Tool Library.
