What will you learn:
We have a collection of quality tools from Bosch, Makita and other brands, including a table saw, mitre saw, bandsaws, lathes, sanders, bench drills and a number of cordless drills, routers, sanders and saws.
We also provide guidance for a fine wood crafting experience. You will get to learn to operate the tools safely and effectively, and with confidence.
The workshop is fully equipped for makers to build their projects, inventions, and prototypes over a cup of coffee. Private Shelf Space for raw materials and project storage is available to members for an additional RM20 per month. Note that supply of this is limited and is on a first-come-first-served basis.
All this in a well-established workspace with workbenches and storage. At this time, due to Covid-19 restrictions, we can accommodate 5 woodworkers at one time.
Pre-requisite:
Training will be conducted before the start of your membership. A half-day course will be delivered by senior members of the team, and will give you hands-on experience with the tools as well as an overview of safety procedures.
