Table Saw Fundamentals

  • Hammestone: Carpentry for Women 3285 Jacksonville Rd. Trumansburg, NY (map)

Who is this class for:
This course is open to women-identifying and non-binary folx as well as trans men of any skill level without a prerequisite.

Description: 
Whether you work on a construction job site or in a woodworking shop, the table saw is a critical tool, allowing you to efficiently process trim, or delve into precision joinery. It is also an incredibly dangerous tool, which is why many folks hesitate to use it. By learning how to safely use the table saw, you will open up your production capacity many fold. In this course we cover safety principles and procedures in depth, and give students as much time as possible to practice using the saw under supervision. We only use SawStop brand table saws in this class with patented technology to stop the blade on contact with flesh.

This is the full cost of running a course including paying our teachers a fair wage, covering insurance, maintaining tools and facilities, managing administration, and supporting our family.

  • I consider myself low-income/low-wealth. I cannot access this course without financial help.

  • I consider myself low-middle income/wealth. Paying full price for this course presents somewhat of a financial hardship.

  • I consider myself upper-middle income/wealth. I would like to make a donation on top of the full price of the course in order to help subsidize access for those who cannot pay the full tuition.

  • I have the resources to make a substantial donation to ensure that these classes remain accessible to people of all income/wealth levels.
