When I read about Sharon over at
Laurelhurst Craftsman Restoration taking a woodworking class, I e-mailed here about joining. We had our first class (through Portland Community College) last night at Franklin High School.
The class cost helps to benefit the
Landers Bree Foundation, a foundation that was set up to help support the woodworking shop at Franklin High School as well as teach students (many with disabilities) trade skills.
We
learned to use became familiar with several tools at the class including a chop saw and a table saw (I already have used these a bit at home) as well as a jointer and planer-pretty cool tools and a little intimidating.
We will get to make a paddle board (he said that could be used for food prep or old school whalloping). cutting board, box with lid & dovetail joints as well as a plant stand. I hope that I can sort of adjust the guide of the plant stand to make a side table instead.
