Practice woodworking fundamentals and bring home a beautiful, custom cutting board for your kitchen. In this two session class, students will apply the milling and cutting techniques introduced in our Intro class to create a unique cutting board based on their own design. On the first day, students will mill lumber, cut pieces to size, and glue up their boards. On the second day, you’ll refine and personalize your project using shaping and profiling tools to create a finished piece that’s both functional and one-of-a-kind. This class is also a great next step for students interested in building toward the box-making class and expanding their woodworking skills. This course will be held on two consecutive days starting with the date and time posted. You must take the Woodshop Introduction, or have a strong familiarity with the jointer, planer, and table saw before taking this class.

Cutting Boards for Beginners is a two-part evening woodworking workshop held at ShopSpace in Raleigh. Participants spend two consecutive nights learning how to safely mill lumber, glue up wood pieces, and use shaping tools to design a custom board from scratch. This class costs $110 and requires participants to have completed the Woodshop Introduction course or have equivalent experience with a jointer, planer, and table saw. Because of the heavy machinery involved, this event is strictly for adults. Wear closed-toe shoes, tie back long hair, and avoid loose clothing. ShopSpace is located near downtown Raleigh, and free street parking is available nearby. It is a productive way to spend a weekday evening, offering a focused environment where you can work with your hands and walk away with a durable, practical item you will use daily.
