Will be doing a quick brew with a few friends. Good time to check out the brewing machine in action. We are planing to start promptly at 4pm and be wrapping up around 5:30.

We will look at the equipment we have, start to prepare a space for the construction and do some work on it if we feel we are ready to make progress.

We will introduce the principles of useing the laser, for example, when to use vector cutting or raster engraving models.

The designs will be compared and then analized to identify improvements on the design. 

Students can scan hand drawn images or can create an image that they want to use prior to class.

Students are asked to bring a laptop with Inkscape installed prior to class. Use of the MakeHaven computer will be available if arrangements are made prior to class.

Students will have 4 ornaments to take home or give as gifts.

This is an introduction to the machines and tools in the Woodshop, as well as, shop safety and best practices. This class is a great class for new members of MakeHaven, and those who whant to learn more about the wood shop. It is also a great refresher for those who may be a bit rusty and wanting to get back into the shop and working on projects or for those brand new and want to discover a whole new world of creative possibilitites. 

No more dry, chapped lips! By the end of this workshop, you will have 25 tubes of your custom own blended lip balm. Mistletoe or not, you'll be ready! There is a fee for this class. Please go to MakeHaven Meetup to register and pay for the class.

Create a custom cutting/cheese board using "rainbow striping" technique with different pieces of wood. A great introductory class to the woodshop!
