Give the gift of Knowledge this Holiday Season. You can now purchase a gift certificate to our Cutting Board Workshop. This isn't a normal gift certificate - it is actually a sample cutting board - very similar to what you will make on your own in this class made ad Vancouver Hack Space. This sample board is laser engraved and provides the contact information needed to schedule your very own class.
Vancouver Hackspace is a non profit organization who offers the tools and the space to help makers make. We have over 190 members who are all interdisciplinary and love working on welding, machining, electronics, sewing, painting, 3d printing, resin casting, and just about any odd ball project that fits our fancy.
Our Chopping board workshop is perfectly suited for those who have little to no prior experience in woodworking. Making a chopping board covers all your basic wood working tools from a table saw, jointer, planer, miter saw, trim router and orbital sander. You will see these tools being used to various degrees in just about every woodworking project you can imagine making this course a great start to dip your toe into wood working.
Designing is super simple as you'll be able to visualize your cutting board using a wide range of scrap material before starting to cut your own pieces and from there we'll measure, cut, glue, flatten, square, work on the sides, and sand the board until completion. You will take home some mineral oil and board wax to finish your board at home.
This workshop is a 2 day workshop where each day is a 4 hour session. Day one is mostly about woodshop safety. We'll design your board and cut all the pieces needed. From there we glue up all the pieces and let the glue to cure overnight. Day 2 covers flattening your board and making it nice and square. We will also put some nice edges on your cutting board and finally sand it down until it's completely smooth. You'll be given some mineral oil and bees wax to complete your board at home.
For the general public the cost of this workshop is 200 dollars and for VHS members it will be a 150 dollars. All materials will be provided to you from the wood, glue, sandpaper, and finishing oils. Classes are capped to 4 people for safety purposes.
