What are Community Classes?
Community Classes are focused on growing the woodworking community, teaching basic woodworking skills and increasing access to tools and wood. These classes are run by skilled volunteers and build 1 small project completed in only a few hours. The class sizes are kept small and the number of tools used is limited. The price of the class is a “pay what you can” model. We provide a suggested price range for the class but you can choose to pay $0 or more than the suggested amount as a donation. Each person attending the class must sign up individually regardless of payment amount.  Learn more about Community Classes here.

Class Description:
A fun, evening class with other enthusiasts to construct your own owl box.  These boxes are great for attracting owls to nest in your yard and for providing them a safe haven.  In this beginner class, you will learn to measure, mark, cut (miter saw) and assemble (drill, countersink, and screw) a beautiful owl box (commercial value $75-$100) while listening to tunes and smelling the cedar aroma. Each student will walk away with their very own owl box and instructions on how to hang it and where. All material is included with this course.

If you have any of these tools please bring them but we have plenty that you can borrow as well.
