Intro to Woodworking

Getting started in woodworking can feel intimidating, but it shouldn’t be! LA Woodshop’s Introduction to Woodworking class will teach you everything you need to know to start your journey into woodworking and furniture making.

Over the course of one day, you’ll learn the basis for every woodworking project going forward: milling. We’ll guide you through the process of taking a rough piece of lumber, straight from the lumberyard, to a beautiful finished project that you can take home and proudly display.

You’ll come away having learned to safely use the table saw, jointer, planer, bandsaw, drill press, and other common tools found in every professional woodshop.

We’ve got you covered for all materials and safety equipment. Please wear comfortable clothes. Avoid wearing baggy clothes and open-toe shoes. Additionally, tie back long hair and don’t wear dangly jewelry.

Cancellation: You can cancel your ticket for a full refund at any point up to 7 days prior to your scheduled class date. Cancellation for any reason within 7 days of your scheduled class will be non-refundable. No-shows are considered non-refundable cancellations.

Rescheduling: You can reschedule your ticket to another date (subject to availability) at no cost at any point up to 7 days prior to your scheduled class date. Rescheduling requests within 4-7 days of your class date will incur a $100 rescheduling fee. No rescheduling will be permitted for any reason within 4 days of your scheduled class start date/time. So for example, the cutoff would be 9am Tuesday for a class starting Saturday 9am. If no other class dates are available at the time of your request, we can move you to a placeholder event until new dates open up.
