Hey All
Its time to run another set of Cutting Board workshops. I’ve had some customers reach out to me to arrange some private lessons next weekend but if there are other members interested i’ll make some availability for this. A portion of the proceeds will be donated back to the hackspace.
The workshop is designed for beginners and it will give you some guided experience using several mainstay tools in the woodshop. You will use the Miter Saw, Planer/Jointer, Tablesaw, A Router (handheld or table), and Orbital sanders as part of the workshop in a supervised environment. You will get a chance to work with some domestic and exotic hardwoods all while designing something you can take home and use for years to come. I have shown some of the work done by prior members in this workshop on our instagram page if you are interested in seeing what is possible. Phillip Ma on Instagram: “Cuttingboard workshops are now open to the public for the month of December. For more information check out the discussion on Vancouver hackspace’s Community Message Board. or DM us directly. https://talk.vanhack.ca/t/cutting-board-workshops-december-2022/13726”
