Open Workshops

We had a packed and very exciting Sunday, with a great bookend woodworking workshop followed by staff training for our brand new SawStop table saw. Any day you can make some sawdust is a good one, and we made a lot today!

We'll be offering a Table Saw Safety & Techniques class starting next month, so if you've ever wanted to learn how to use one of the most important and flexible power tools in a woodworker's toolbox, keep an eye out for that!

If you've been to a pop culture convention like Motor City Comic Con just this weekend and thought "boy, I wish I could learn how to make costumes like that", I have good news for you - the Tra'cor Clan - Mando Mercs of Michigan Costume Club will be hosting an armor party at Open Workshops this coming Saturday, 11/22, from 11 AM to 6 PM!

This event is free and anyone is welcome, regardless of fandom or level of experience! Come on out to work on your kit, or just chat with the Mandos and learn how they do their thing. There's a lot more to it than you might think!
