Have you already taken an intro woodshop class? Want to tackle something more than another cutting board? This class will educate students on more intermediate to advanced woodworking concepts  and use of equipment.  Students will leave with their own custom frame made from a selection of hardwoods, and gain more advanced techniques using the following equipment and skills:
  • Table, Miter, & Bandsaws
  • Joiner
  • Planer
  • Drill press
  • Combination & Orbital Sanders
  • Hand Router

Structure: This class consists of one weekend session, where the entire cohort will work through constructing their own picture frame. The instructor will offer optional "office hour" sessions by appointment to aid students with completing their projects and provide further guidance. However, students are encouraged to join HackPGH and utilize the makerspace at their own convenience to independently use the woodshop and other shop areas such as our CNC, welding bench, 3D printers, laser cutter, computer lab, Soft Arts, and more!

Class date & time: Sunday, July 20th from 10:30am to 4:30pm There will be a break for a takeout lunch, so please advise if you have any food allergies. 

Instructor Office Hours: Optional and by appointment. Contact Elena via email or Slack (for members).
