Guided Open Shop is a new, multi-session offering that provides personalized support for HatchSpace members working on their own projects. With expert guidance from HatchSpace instructors, participants can receive advice on project planning, learn new techniques, and troubleshoot challenges in a small, focused setting. Ideal for both new and experienced members, these sessions allow for independent project work with the support of experienced, professional woodworkers.
Participants must:
- be HatchSpace members that have passed a safety test to use one or more of our Main shop machines: table saw, planer, jointer, miter saw, or bandsaw.
- be working on a personal project(s)
- complete a short questionnaire about their experience and their project
