In this workshop you will become familiar with the Minneapolis branch of the Minnesota Tool Library and learn how to use the machines confidently & safely. No experience is necessary.
This is a great introduction or a refresher if you’d like to re-familiarize yourself with the shop. We will cover the safe setup & operation of the jointer, planer, table saw, miter saw, band saw, belt/spindle sanders and drill press. The class size is small so there will be plenty of time for questions and to try each tool. Leave with the skills necessary to use the Tool Library workshop safely and with confidence.
