Location: Woodshop | 1330 Orleans Drive, Sunnyvale, CA, 94089

Description:

This special workshop is designed for members of Google's PiShop seeking safety training on basic woodshop power tools.  We'll cover the general safety and operating principles of many of the tools available to you at PiShop, including the Jointer, Planer, Table Saw, Sliding Compound Miter Saw, Handheld Routers, and Manual Router Table.  We'll show you everything you need to turn a rough piece of wood into a squared board, and shape it using both handheld and table routers.

While our equipment is not identical to PiShop's, this class will cover differences you may encounter in various models of these tools.  This course is meant only for PiShop members and not intended for the general public or Maker Nexus members.  However, Googlers who are also members will be certified to use the machines covered in this class.

What to Bring

• Full length pants and closed-toed shoes

• We recommend you bring your own safety glasses and hearing protection if possible.  Maker Nexus will supply them for students who do not have their own
