Beginner Woodworking - Wine Rack

In this 6-hour class, you will learn a variety of beginner woodworking skills, as you make a beautiful wooden wine rack with a detachable tray on top. This class will focus on learning to cut and shape wood, as well as simple joinery skills. Students will learn:

• Proper use of a tablesaw, miter saw, and bandsaw
• How to cut curved lines in wood
• How to use a spindle sander to smooth and shape wood
• Simple joiner using a brad nailer and glue clamps

This class is beginner focused and participants are not expected to have prior knowledge of woodworking. The course is open to participants age 16 and over (participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult also enrolled in the class).

Note: There is a lunch break in the middle of this class while we wait for glue to dry. Participants are welcome to bring a lunch and hang out at the makerspace, or we'll happily suggest our favorite local dining options.

FAQ:

Should I bring anything with me to class? Everything you'll need to complete the projects will be provided including any nescesary safety equipment. If you have safety glasses or hearing protection you prefer to wear, please feel free to bring them along. (Safety glasses must meet ANSI Z87 standards (most do).)

Can I bring my own wood to use? We'll supply all the wood you'll use to complete your wine rack.

What should I wear ? Plan to wear comfortable clothing that you're prepared to get dirty. Avoid loose-fitting clothing and dangling jewelry such as neck chains or bracelets. Shoes should be closed-toed (no sandals or flip-flops). Any long hair should be tied back.

I have a question that's not answered here. Can you help me? Of course, just send us an email at [email protected]!
