Our Tool Room is an organized space where essential hand tools and power tools are stored and maintained. Shelves, pegboards, cabinets, and drawers keep tools like saws, drills, planes, chisels, hammers, and screwdrivers neatly arranged and easy to access. All tools are available for member use and the space is designed to ensure that woodworkers can find the right tool for any task.
Our PPE Station is equipped with ear and eye protection, face shields, dust masks, and gloves. Eye protection is required in our Machine Room. Dust masks and ear protection are recommended for certain tools. Our PPE Station also contains a fully-stocked First Aid Kit. There is always someone First Aid/CPR/AED Certified on site.
Our members create beautiful items here, and we are proud to display the work they’re willing to leave with us. We offer a profit-share with members who are interested in selling their pieces, so there are beautiful, handcrafted items for sale year-round. Come by and take in some art, become inspired, and feel good about supporting a local cause and a local maker!
