Major objective
Learn how to safely operate woodworking power
tools.

Bring your own tools if you like.
Safety glasses are a must. Ive got some you can
borrow for the first night.
A shop apron is handy but not necessary. I only
wear one when Im doing messy gluing or painting.

Sturdy shoes are a must. No flip-flops or
open-toe sandals.
. and while working with any machinery, we
avoid long flowing clothes, and dont wear
watches and rings.

Theyve got this nice disk and belt sander too,
and although we can use it, we might not want to.
