Wood Workplace

The Wood Workplace is the place you can work with wood.

Safety

  • Use hearing protection!
  • Switch off machinery as soon as you want to step away from it.
  • Do not lean over the machines
  • Do not use your weight in such a way that when your object breaks or jumps away, that you can come in contact with the dangerous parts of the machine
  • Follow the other safety rules yet to be documented.

Procedures

  • Clean after you finished your work. Clean the machines you worked with, clean the tables, clean the floor.
    • For safety!
    • For your own comfort and that of people that want to use the Wood Workplace
    • To show your fellow makers that you care...
  • Do not use tools for wood outside the Wood Workplace
  • Do not use tools for metal inside the Wood Workplace
  • Specific procedures for specific machines are described on the pages for these machines.

Wood Storage

Along the back wall of the wood workplace we can store some wood between and beside the cabinet made from old doors.

  • Left cabinet area - beams (fair game)
  • Middle cabinet area - planks (fair game)
  • Right cabinet area - participants projects (named)
  • To the left of the cabinet - Big planks and beams
  • To the right of the cabinet - Thin high pieces
  • No more wood than fits between the dividers
  • Each piece of wood that is not fair game should be labeled seperatly

When there is too much wood (more than fits between the dividers), the least valuable wood will be thrown away.
