Have you always wanted to make a really cool wood project, but were too intimidated by all the equipment?

Join us on Sunday, June 14th for our Woodworking Fundamentals session!
You’ll learn all the fundamentals, like sourcing wood, safe use of woodworking equipment, and how to make rough milled lumber usable for your projects.

This class is for people who have limited experience in the woodshop who wish to know more, and for anyone who wants to know what "right looks like" for foundational woodworking skills.

Space is limited, so reserve your spot today: https://make717.org/event-6710491?CalendarViewType=1&SelectedDate=6/3/2026
