New York: Cutting Board (December)

  • FutureWorks NYC Makerspace Brooklyn Army Terminal, 140 58th Street Brooklyn, NY, 11220 United States (map)

Cutting Board Workshop

Join Dykes With Drills at FutureWorks NYC Makerspace for this fun beginner workshop and make a mixed hardwood cutting board! In this workshop, participants will choose from a variety of pre-glued boards and learn to safely use the router table, drill press, bandsaw, and orbital sander to create a beautiful finished cutting board of their own. Then participants will learn about different cutting board finishes and will apply oil to protect their board for years to come. No woodworking experience necessary. All are welcome!

COVID-19 Protocols

Your safety is our highest priority, so we have put safety protocols in place for all of our in-person workshops to keep everyone safe. Those protocols are:

  • All instructors, assistants, and participants will be required to show proof of vaccinations and wear masks while attending workshops. We do not have enough masks to provide to everyone, so you will be required to provide your own mask.

  • Everyone should follow recommended safety precautions, such as coughing into your elbow and refraining from touching their face.

  • All of the tools, equipment, door handles, cabinet and drawer handles, etc. that are touched will be disinfected both before and after the workshop.
