What is this class about: This class serves as safety training and orientation to the workshop for beginners and hobbyists wanting to work on their own projects as a member of the Curious Goose Guild. This intro consists of four 2-hour workshops occurring at the same time each week over four weeks.
When is it: Monday nights from 6-8pm each month (choose a month)
Where is it held: Curious Goose Community Workshop, 85B Portland St. Dartmouth, NS
Requirements: No experience is required to start, just a desire to learn something new and being present. While we encourage everyone to have some basic equipment and space at home to continue working on the projects, we will supply all the tools, wood, and gear you’ll need to finish this project at the shop. You can come in during Guild time to finish your project if you need more time.
Price: $200 + HST includes all sessions and class materials
Space is limited to 10 participants per class. Completing this class will not only provide you with a timeless toolbox to store your growing collection of tools, but have you ready to start using the workshop on your own projects as a member of the Guild!
Part 1: What’s in a plan - Learn how and where to begin conceptualizing a woodworking project, from the very first idea to getting a design ready
Part 2: Design & Drafting - Every project starts with a design. You’ll learn about how to measure materials for maximizing their use, the basics of drafting and start putting pencil to paper on your toolbox blueprint.
Part 3: Working in the Shop - We’ll focus on workshop etiquette and safety for the bifg power tools. We’ll do all the cutting for the project in the shop and get our components ready for assembly
Part 4: Assembly, Hardware, and Finishing - There are countless ways to join a few pieces of wood together, but some are better than others. We’ll go over the basics of assembly and joinery, what screws to use and when, and finally how to bring the project across the finish line with sanding and wood finish.
Once complete, graduates can join the Guilds by subscribing here and have access to the shop and resources during Guild Time. As more people join, we will be able to expand the schedule and offer members even more opportunities and resources to get creative!
