Instructor: Jim Pletcher
Saturday, October 17, 2026
9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Adults 18+, No experience required
Fee:  $85 includes all materials/supplies

This workshop is designed to give beginners hands-on experience in the woodshop. Students will learn shop safety protocols and how to operate a number of the most commonly used machines safely. The project chosen for this class allows students to gain experience using the miter saw, table saw, drill press, and hand-held nailer. No prior experience is necessary. 

In this workshop, students will learn how to turn common construction material into a bluebird box that can be put up in your backyard or given as a thoughtful gift for the bird lover in your circle.

Gaining these basic skills can open the door to future projects of your own design! Be sure to check the program listings again soon for a new series of one-evening workshops that include simple projects, tool education and open shop times.
