This workshop is for beginning woodworkers wanting to learn how to use Makersmiths Leesburg woodworking tools safely. No prior woodworking experience necessary. If you are an experienced woodworker and only need red tool training to safely use the tools at the Leesburg woodshop, the one-session red tool class without a make and take would be the appropriate red tool class for you.

Participants in this make and learn red tool basic woodworking workshop will be signed off on these tools  - Table Saw, Band Saw, Jointer, Planer, Miter Saw, Drill Press, Spindle Belt Sander, Drum Sander, and Dust Collector.


Participants in this two-day session will also create a basic cutting board, encompassing the glue-up process and finishing techniques. All materials will be provided, and the registration fee for this class includes the cost of materials.

Completion of red tool training in Leesburg does NOT permit you to use the tools or shop in Purcellville.

While many of the tools in the two locations perform similar tasks, the tools in Leesburg are homeowner/hobbyist in size while the tools in Purcellville are industrial sized. 

Prerequisites - Must be 18 or older and have an interest in woodworking.

Class size is limited to two students. The class is a minimum of three hours but may take longer depending on attendee’s previous experience.

Safety gear is available in the shop, but it is recommended that you bring your own eye and ear protection.
