Consider yourself a real Ron Swanson but no room to have your own workshop? Use ours! We are proud to offer Open Shop, where you’ll have 3.5 hours to work on whatever tickles your fancy (all projects subject to instructor approval).
Open shop is for people with woodworking experience; who know how to use power tools safely. An instructor will be available to provide direction if you need an expert opinion but is not there to teach you how to do your project. If you need significant guidance, please check www.rebuildingexchange.org and click on “Private Instruction” under the “Workshops” tab to learn more about scheduling private instructor time.
We cannot guarantee that your project will be finished in 3.5 hours. Arrangements can be made to store your materials here if you need to come back to finish up at another Open Shop session.
***After registering for open shop, please email indigo@rebuildingexchange.org to let us know what you will be working on in the class. A list of tools/equipment available for use during open shop are provided below.
Materials are not included in the price of Open Shop, but we are happy to offer a 20% discount for materials purchased in our warehouse. We recommend showing up early to pick out materials and prepare to work. The store opens at 10:00.
