Basic Carpentry and Woodworking
About
A weekend primer on joinery, jigs, materials and project design in which students use hand tools plus a circular saw and drill to build a toolbox, sewing box or garden box; it's held in a classroom rather than a full shop, so bring eye goggles, a respirator mask and ear protection (a tape measure is handy). Saturday and Sunday, November 14–15, 10:30 am–3:30 pm, in CC Building room 1161 at North Seattle College, 9600 College Way N, about a 10-minute walk from Northgate Station (1 Line). $255 plus a $75 cash supply fee; pack a lunch, since the campus MicroMart is closed weekends.

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.
