Learn to use tools and make things!
Our wood shop is fully equipped to help you with your next project! We are stocked with tools including a planer, joiner, drill press, band saw, as well as dust collectors and new hand tools.
Wood Shop Co-op Membership
We are pleased to offer the Wood Shop Co-op Membership Option for those who are experienced wood workers and who want to use the shop! This option allows access to the wood shop, when paired up with another Wood Shop member, (excluding class hours) for safety. Please schedule an evaluation (at a cost of $70) by emailing wavepoolgallery@gmail.com. The cost of a Wood Shop Co-op Membership is $50/mth. If you become a member and fail to make payments for 1 year, you will need to schedule another evaluation in order to regain membership access.
If you are not experienced in the shop, we recommend you take our Intro and Intermediate classes before becoming a member.
Wood Working Classes
Classes are also offered and can be found under our eventbrite page when they are open for registration. We also have a limited number of partial scholarships available for those who find the cost prohibitive for them to attend the classes. Please email wavepoolgallery@gmail.com to apply for one of these scholarships.
Wood Shop Safety Primer
Before you step foot in the shop, we ask that you please watch this short video to get you ready and to teach you some simple safety tips.
The Wood Shop Safety video primer was supported by a grant from the Ohio Arts Council Arts Partnership program.
The Wave Pool Wood Shop is supported by The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr./U.S. Bank Foundation as well as by Wave Pool’s Wood Shop Membership.
Tool Library Inquiry Form
Not a wood shop member? Not a problem! Anyone can rent tools by meeting with a staff member and filling out some paperwork.
Let us know what tool(s) you are interested in or what your project is and we will do our best to fulfill your needs!
