DIY Wood Shop Home Decor

Working with power tools can be intimidating, but learning the safe way to operate them opens up a world of DIY and custom décor. This class is part of a series to introduce you to the most commonly used tools for those special projects.

Reclaimed Wood Display Board or Sign
We’ll make an approximately 23inch x 16.5inch “reclaimed wood” display board to hang on your wall (or you can leave off the bulldog clip and paint a sign later at home or in the optional follow up class TBD.) You’ll learn the basics of shop safety and how to use some common tools: vibrational sander, power drill/driver for pre drilling and countersinking, and the main tool for this class: a chop saw, aka miter saw.

*If you wish to wear gloves and/or a dust mask, you must provide those for yourself.
Please ensure your hair is pulled back and that you’re wearing close toed shoes. Do not wear flowy/flouncy clothing – especially sleeves. It is usually wise to not wear jewellery in the shop.
