Summary

The wood shop at Port City Makerspace has everything that an aspiring wood worker could hope for, and many old friends of the seasoned carpenter. Shop tools include a professional grade table saw, bandsaw, compound miter saw, a 15″ planer, a 8″ x 75″ jointer, drum sanders, and a full complement of hand tools. There is truly too much to list. It’s best to come by the shop and see for yourself!

Wood Shop User Guide

This is a list of rules and advice for using the wood shop. Consider this an addition to the Code of Conduct.

  1. Vacuum!:
    1. Vacuum up IMMEDIATELY after doing something. Clean as you go. Don't leave a bunch of messes to clean up later, or you will wind up missing messes that others will have to clean up.
    2. Check the vac to see if it is full. Empty it into a regular trash can if it is. Watch out for the dust plume.
  2. When using sanders:
    1. Wear a dust mask
    2. Use any available vacuum attachment on the machine or tool
    3. Vacuum up the surrounding area afterwards. Remember that dust is light and travels far.
  3. Be aware of your surroundings:
    1. Don't know where something should go? Put it back where you found it, or ask a fellow member.
    2. Please warn others near you before doing something noisy or messy.
    3. If you're not sure what you're doing, talk to someone or google it.
    4. DO NOT USE any power tool you have not gotten checked out on. DO NOT assume you know how to safely use something you've barely used.
    5. If the blade on a tool seems difficult to use, it is probably dull and needs to be sharpened/replaced. Notify the manager or shop volunteer.
  4. Do not do any of the following to or on the power tools:
