Need a starting point to try your hand at woodworking?  This is the class for you!  This ‘Woodshop 101’ creates a great foundation for understanding wood and woodworking, all while making incredible projects to use and enjoy at home.  Also called ‘Slice and Serve’, this class introduces complete beginners to a full array of professional grade tools including a jointer, planer, table saw, router table, drill press, band saw, belt sander and more. Students experience the precision needed to make a flawless food serving tray as well as the feeling of shaping and carving by hand a comfortable knife handle for an ultra-versatile chef’s knife.  Our use of breadboard ends on the serving tray offers a gorgeous sense of sophistication while helping teach students a fundamental understanding of how wood expands and contracts throughout the year, something all woodworkers must master!
