i’ll be running through the orientations for the Table Saw and the Planer Jointer on Thursday January 5th starting at 4:30pm. It should take about an hour and half to cover both of those. If you can’t be at the space at 4:30 - don’t worry we can start up a second session after the first one probably around 6pm. Space is limited to 3 people for each session.
I suggest a 50 dollar donation to VHS for the tool orientation. You can do that via the membership page of the vanhack site or by email money transfer to directors@vanhack.ca.
If you can’t make at these times please let me know and we can arrange some other time to go through things.
If you are also more of a beginner wood worker i would suggest enrolling in a Cutting Board Workshop. You will go through the same safety orientation but in an applied sense as you work on this very beginner friendly project. A portion of the costs for this workshop goes directly towards funding some improved dust collection systems in the wood shop that will also benefit the entire space. More dates will be announced for later in January but if you’re interested in attending please let me know.
I’d like to join if there is still space, either slot works for me!
(I’m already checked out on the Jointer/planer actually, and have used table saws extensively so would be attending to learn about this particular machine and how to avoid setting off the brake!)
I usually host open hours on Thursday evenings between 4 and 8. those are generally good times to stop by. if Thursdays don’t work for you DM me on slack or on talk and hopefully we can find some time to meet.
No problem - drop by next Thursday i’ll be in to host regular open hours. That’s a convenient day to get checked off. Stop by around 5:30 or 6. You too @Dviz
Hi @Dviz i don’t think i’ll be able to swing by today. if you haven’t been signed off yet DM me on slack and i’ll see if someone else can help you out with this. Thanks!
