Tuesday, April 5 from 6 pm to 8 pm

Learn the basics of safe use of the table saw, planer, jointer and drum sander.

This class is designed to help you become certified to use these tools during open shop times. Each student will make practice cuts on each of the machines, using wood provided at the class.

No experience is necessary, but students should prepare beforehand by reading the safety information that will be emailed to registrants. This will maximize the amount of hands-on time in the class and enable students to ask about any details they do not understand.

INSTRUCTOR: David Grant got hooked on woodworking as a youngster, when he participated in a 4-H project in Brookfield, Connecticut. That was 50 years ago, and he's still at it, having learned many lessons along the way. "I'm self-taught and still have all my digits," he says, with his customary humor. David is a board member of BARN and was president of Bainbridge Island Community Woodshop before it merged with BARN. He's also been active on many community service projects, including helping Cub Scouts in their pinewood derby project.
