Beginners are welcome to join this introduction to machine woodworking and shop safety in MassArt’s well-equipped woodshop. Build confidence with woodworking equipment and gain a deeper understanding of the science of wood as a material. Practice working with technical drawings and build hands-on experience with the chop saw, bandsaw, jointer, table saw, router, drill press, hand drills, and power sanders. Students mill rough lumber and cut joinery to make a cherry serving tray with brass hardware. 
 
Please bring your own safety glasses. All other tools and materials are provided.
