About this event

Our WorkSpace is open again once a month, so bring your project, use any of our hand tools and some select power tools (sanders, drills, dremel, jig saws, brad nailer and compressor, glue guns etc.) and meet some other makers in our fully stocked WorkSpace.

We're opening with health and safety guidelines in place: mask wearing is mandatory as well as sanitizing tools before and after each use. Sanitizer bottles are provided.

Each participant will work at their own work bench to ensure physical distancing.

We're limiting the space to three people plus our OTL Monitor Bob who can assist with any tool questions you might have.

In order to be able to use other power tools (band saw, drill press, and mitre saw) in our WorkSpace you will need to have completed our WorkSpace Safety 101Course first. The next one is November 26th. Anyone who has taken this course already, can use said tools during Shop Night.

If someone wants to use our planer, jointer, table saw, and/or router, these tools will only be covered in a future course offering, most likely starting in January.

Special requests for personalized assistance are available on request.
