Of all the Spark workspaces, the Woodshop is currently the largest, the loudest, and the most potentially hazardous. Fortunately, the Woodshop Leads are here to help you learn to use the space safely and enjoyably. Classes occur regularly to introduce tools and techniques to both members and non-members, and qualified Spark members may use the shop at any time. To get certified, members should check the "Rules and Access" section below, or talk to one of the Woodshop leads, who can be reached by email at [email protected].
