Your Woodshop,
The Smart Way

Use of a fully-equipped woodworking facility, access to the experiences of
other members, the satisfaction of learning by doing, and sharing that with other members and with our community.

Our woodshop is available to our members 24/7 through our digital security access. We ask that you wear appropriate safety gear and that you understand the operation of the tools being used.

Yes! Regardless of your experience, and before using any tools in the shop, all members must go through a 2 hour tools certification. You lean the purpose and basic safety and operating procedures for each piece of major equipment in the shop.

You must be at least 18 years old or accompanied by a parent or guardian. Only members are allowed in the shop. This ensures everyone has received the basic tools certification course and has committed to the safety and cleaning procedures. Minors accompanied by a parent/guardian that have both taken the tools certification class can use the same membership.

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.

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

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 request additional training by emailing [email protected]

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.

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.
