The Spark woodshop leads have assembled instructional guides for the commonly used Spark power tools. These guides are used to teach classes. Members who have woodworking experience and want to get signed off on access to the tools should review these guides and the associated manufacturer's manuals prior to meeting with the Woodshop Leads. More information is available on the Woodshop Access page.

Some tools do not yet had guides and teaching material made. Sometimes, this is because low usage of the tool has not yet justified a guide. In these instances, the guide space reads "E-mail Leads." If you have a need to use these tools, e-mail the Woodshop Leads to set up a time for instruction. Other tools do not yet had guides because the teaching material is still being compiled, as is the case with the CNC machine and the lathes. These tools are marked in red in the table below and are not yet available for student sign-off.
