Required Authorization-

Woodworking is hazardous by nature. In order to use any of the woodshop tools both members and nonmembers must pass the Woodshop Authorization course. We want everyone to go home safe and in one piece! SAFE OPERATION of tools is our top priority.

PPE (Personal Safety Equipment)

Anyone entering the shop will be required to wear safety glasses. Use of additional PPE such as safety hearing protection, dust masks is heartily encouraged.

Cleanliness

A clean shop is a safe and productive shop. All members and nonmembers are expected to clean after themselves while working, and thoroughly clean before leaving the area in which they’re working.

Materials

Most woods are allowed in the woodshop, but to protect machinery as well as to protect other members, only WELL INSPECTED reclaimed lumber free of sand, gravel, nails, screws, staples or finish will be allowed in the shop.

Pressure treated lumber will NOT be allowed ANY time.

Hazardous Wood Authorization

Wood dust is also a safety concern, so cleanliness is of extreme importance. Some people are allergic to certain lumber. These individuals can and have become sensitized to such materials. Symptoms range from the minor problems, like Dermatitis (Skin Rash), to more serious problems, like Asthma Complication and Mucosal Irritation. Therefore, the use of woods from the following list requires additional authorization and training for proper clean-up after their use. These courses will be posted regularly to the calendar.
