Let's Build Cutting Boards!

• No prior woodworking experience necessary.
• $125 for the general public, $100 for Clear Creek Makerspace members.
• Materials and supplies will be provided for you, including a selection of hardwoods.
• During this event, Clear Creek Makerspace will be open for participants. Please ring the front doorbell, or come around to the back and knock on the windowed doors.

Learn how to build your own custom hardwood cutting board! I will expertly guide you as you learn how to safely use a variety of essential wood shop tools. You will gain practical skills in milling rough lumber, edge-gluing boards, clamping, sanding, and applying a food-safe finish. By the end of the workshop, you'll proudly take home a beautiful board you made yourself and just in time for dinner.

This 5-hour course will cover topics such as:

• Selecting and preparing hardwood
• Milling hardwood
• Using the table saw for rip and cross cuts
• Gluing and clamping techniques
• Edge detail using a router table
• Sanding and finishing for a polished look

We will be taking a 30 minute lunch break after glue-up. This is to allow the glue some time to set before we move on to the next steps. Clear Creek Makerspace has a fridgerator and microwave participants may use.

You will walk away with ready-to-use hardwood cutting board that you built!
