Day 1 – Sunday, April 3
Day 2 – Sunday, April 10
Cutting boards are useful and can be beautiful works of art, and making one is a great way to learn some basic carpentry skills. In this class you will use reclaimed hardwood to make a simple cutting board of your own design (maximum size 14"x14"). In the process you will learn how to use many tools, including a table saw, chop saw, planer, and orbital sander. You'll also learn how to do a "glue up" and be introduced to several clamping methods.
This is a project-based class and you'll be able to take your cutting board home after Day 2. You can give it as a gift or use it to enjoy charcuterie for years to come!
Topics covered:
Using table saws and chop saws
Using a thickness planer and sanding to achieve a smooth finish
A variety of clamping techniques, including using ropes, clamps, and wedges
Sanding techniques
Finishing with food-grade oil
Skill level: Beginners are welcome, though ideally you have some basic experience on a table saw or have taken a previous class with us. For ages 18+.
Class Schedule: Each class will run for 3 hours with no break planned
