Why Share a Woodshop?

1. Not Enough Space at Home!

Whether you live in an apartment, condo, basement, or single-family home, it seems like fewer and fewer residences have the space for a shop. In addition, we've all see the garage full of tools and equipment that rarely get used. The garage that you can't park in all winter while your cuts are throwing dust over everything else. All the unnecessary dust and space taken at home can be replaced with a Community Woodshop's space, available to members 24/7.

2. Tools and Equipment are too expensive!

Just walk in to your local hardware store, woodworking or construction supplier, or even jump online and you'll find the cost of tools and equipment has been skyrocketing year after year. We no longer live in an era where everyone has the space and money to outfit an entire shop, let alone some of the basic necessities to finish a home project. That's why our workshop is packed with over $150,000 of equipment- to save you money!

3. I don't know how to make it!

Anyone can be a craftsman, but it's nice to have a little help. Woodworking skill comes with experience and the shop supports those learning woodworking at every level. From the very beginner to the most advanced pros, we have a support system to help you learn and perfect the craft!

FAQ image

Can I use the machines anytime?

Our woodshop is available to members 24/7 through our digital security access. We require that you wear appropriate safety gear and that you understand the operation of the tools being used. No appointment is needed for members to come, and they even get access to a live-feed camera to be able to see if the shop is busy before coming down.

FAQ image

I'm not experienced, do you teach me to use the tools?

Yes! Regardless of your experience, and before using any tools in the shop, all members must go through a tools certification. You lean the purpose and basic safety and operating procedures for each piece of major equipment in the shop. In addition the shop is full of experienced members that volunteer lots of time helping people learn. Finally, you can also hire one-on-one instructors to coach you through any woodworking project you have!

FAQ image

What are the age restrictions

Anyone 18 and over can purchase a membership. Anyone 12 and over can take a class, yet minors must be accompanied by an adult. All ages are welcome to our monthly sawdust sessions.

FAQ image

Do I need a membership to take a class?

No! Anyone can attend a class. We cover the basics of safely using all the necessary tools to complete the class project.

FAQ image

What size project can I work on?

The shop is designed to keep projects flowing. We support creators, designers, hobbyists, and woodworkers creating one-off projects and prototypes. If you need to make 5 hours worth of continues cuts on the table saw, this might not be the place for you. Usually this means nothing larger than a bed frame or dinning room table.

FAQ image

Is training included?

A required safety class is included as part of our new member orientation.  Other members who are experienced woodworkers are often available (by chance or by appointment) for free advice when using equipment for the first time. You can also purchase one-on-one coaching and training by emailing [email protected]

FAQ image

Is wood included? What supplies do I need?

Wood is supplied for club activities including group projects, training classes, or making items for community projects. For individual projects, wood and other disposable supplies are the member's responsibility. We do attempt to acquire discounted wood to offer our members at cost. The club provides router bits (limited to what is in the bit storage rack), saw blades, dado sets, a limited variety of drill bits, and the specialized abrasives for the sanding machines to members. Members may use their own hand tools and materials if they desire.

FAQ image

What if I break something?

Members who damage equipment through accident, carelessness, improper use or disregard of posted or published procedures may be charged for the cost of repairs and replacement parts.  Examples of such damage include, but are not limited to, ruined sanding machine abrasives, ruined saw blades, damaged carbide cutter segments in the surface planer or jointer, damaged bench grinder wheels and miter saw blade guards.

In addition, attempting to cut material that is electrically conductive on the SawStop table saw is likely to activate the safety braking system. Wet wood, wood with certain coatings, treated wood, aluminum and a material having a metallic component or layer are examples of electrically conductive material. Always consult a board member before cutting material that is electrically conductive. A member who activates the brake system for any reason is responsible for reimbursing the club for the cost of replacing the blade and brake cartridge.
