Basic Carpentry and Woodworking
About
A hands-on introduction for adults with little or no shop experience: you plan, measure, cut and assemble a simple wooden toolbox while learning to use affordable handheld power tools safely, plus practical tips for home projects. Classes meet Mondays from November 2 to November 16, 5:30–9pm, in the Wood Lab at Seattle Central's Wood Technology Center, 2310 S Lane St. The fee is $349; bring eye, hearing and dust protection, pencils and work clothes.

New to woodworking?
Woodworking classes cover spoon and bowl carving, joinery, small furniture such as a stool or cutting board, and safe use of hand and power tools.
- Closed-toe shoes and no loose sleeves; the studio provides eye and ear protection.
- Carving classes are quiet and hand-tool only; shop classes use machines under supervision.
- Many shop classes require an intro or safety session before open-shop time.
Taking it home: Usually the same day; an oil finish may need a day to cure.
