THIS CLASS INCLUDES A ONE-MONTH HACKPGH MEMBERSHIP!
*UPDATE - this is a rain day information page*
This TWO-SESSION woodworking class will aim to educate students on basic concepts and safe use of wood shop equipment, while crafting a beautiful and custom wooden bread board out of locally sourced hardwoods. Students will leave with an understanding and safety training on the following equipment and skills:
- Drill press
- Band saw
- Palm Sander
- Palm Routing with templates
- Applying finish
Structure: This class will have one group session, where the entire cohort will work through constructing one breadboard collectively. The class will then have one month of 24/7 access to HackPGH to complete their own breadboard project. The instructor will also offer “office hour” sessions (by appointment) to aid students with their projects and provide further guidance. However students are encouraged to utilize HackPGH at their own convenience.
We urge students to bring personal projects to work on at HackPGH during this membership period, and we support those who wish to continue their membership after class completion.
Date and time:
Initial classes: Monday, January 29th 6pm-9pm & Tuesday, January 30th 6pm-9pm

Requirements: No woodworking experience needed. All supplies and safety equipment will be provided. Attendance only required at the Sunday class session and the HackPGH membership orientation.
