1. WOOD ORIENTATION required in order to use the wood studio - available any time during our Tech Hours and by special arrangement.
2. SAFETY ASSESSMENT WORKSHOP> SAW required in order to gain use of the large woodshop equipment, you must first pass a SAW. These are conducted by arrangement with our Wood Tech, (schedule available at Front Desk)
3. $20 Lab Fee> Use of large equipment requires a $20 lab fee each term, due at time of being cleared for a level 2 or higher use after completion of a SAW. These fees cover the sharpening and replacement of blades, etc.
If your level of experience is above beginner but not at the level where you are comfortable taking a SAW, the access you will have is to hand tools (available for check out at the front desk) unless working during a Tech Time with guidance from a Wood Tech.
If you are a total novice but you are interested in using the studio and learning, we recommend you take a class or workshop, where you will gain a good foundation to woodworking and safe big equipment operation.
