Beginner Woodworking Course (23 Mar 2026)

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Beginner Woodworking Course

This course will focus on teaching woodworking skills so you will be comfortable using the shop for your future projects. You are not expected to have any woodworking experience or own any tools. You will be supplied with everything you need. The class size is small to guarantee a consistent amount of one on one instruction.

Over the course of three classes you will build a solid wood tool box from rough lumber to finished box. This can serve as storage for your future tool collection or a neat thing to show your mom. For more in depth please read the syllabus

This course includes checkouts for the Jointer, Planer, Table saw, and router table if you don't already have them.

If you have any feedback or suggestions to make this course more accessible or need more information please contact me at [email protected]">[email protected] or on the makerspace forum @chanceofawesome

Cost: $150

Instructor: Chance McClendon

Class needs to be a full four people to run

NOTE: This is the first time I'm running this course so it's being offered at a discount. Please forgive me if it's not a seamless experience. I'm listing this with three classes but if we need we can add another class to finish the project.

Cancellation Policy: Non-refundable, fully transferable. Directors to make exceptions based on cases of hardship (injury, death in the family, etc.)
