Did you just get signed off on the bandsaw, jointer, and planer? Want to hone those skills making something beautiful that you can use every day? Join us as we turn a piece of rough lumber into a finished long grain cutting board. The class will give you firsthand experience from processing rough lumber squaring-four-sides to wrapping up with a food safe wood finish. Along the way we'll discuss tips for milling, shaping, sanding, and finishing your project. At the end you'll have a beautiful long grain cutting board perfect for meal preparation or giving as a gift.
$80 class fee for Tampa Hackerspace members who have completed both the Wood Shop Safety and Bandsaw/Jointer/Planer classes. Please note that you will be added manually to the attending list after a volunteer has verified your membership and your payment.
