Learn how to safely and effectively cut reclaimed wood with the power tools in Perennial’s woodshop. In this hour and a half hands-on demo, you’ll learn how to safely use the chop saw (miter saw) to make square and angled cuts. By learning the band saw and jig saw, you’ll be able to make unique cuts of virtually any shape. By completing this crash course, you will be trained to properly and safely use any of the power saws listed above for future projects at Perennial.

Grace provided a wonderful intro to the compound miter saw, the band saw, and the jigsaw. I feel like I could now safely use these tools independently of an instructor.

Explained very well for the average person with no previous knowledge of these skill sets to understand.

I was really nervous and excited about learning to use the power saws in the workshop. Grace taught the course and did a great job explaining how to stay safe and operate the various saws. I feel confident that I will be able to use all three saws --- the compound miter saw, the jig saw, and the band saw with ease. Thanks to Perennial for being a great resource for learning in the community!

The power tools 101 class is particularly helpful for people who have never laid a finger on those power tool triggers. Although I was already familiar with the chopsaw and jig jigsaw, it was great to put wood blade with the bandsaw. I'd always been a little intimidated it, but not anymore! Now The bandsaw is on my must have tool list! I also met some really nice people during the class. Thank you for offering this opportunity to me. Nice job!
