Description

In this workshop, participants will learn the safety and use of the chopsaw, drill press, router table and brad nail guns to make a sleek and modern hanging bike rack with storage tray. Participants will also learn about “finishing” techniques (sanding, staining, painting, polyurthaning, etc.) to personalize and enhance the look of the bike rack and protect the wood over time. (finishing will be done on the participants own time after the class) About the Instructor: My name is Ben Dendy and I am excited to be one of the instructors at Community Workshop NOLA. I have participated in many woodworking projects since I was a little kid. I would help my dad make things and he taught me how to properly use different wood working tools safely. Since then I have developed my skills by completing my own projects. While woodworking was a hobby for me most of my life, I have almost always worked in the construction industry since graduating college with a degree in construction management. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to teach people the skills to make beautiful and useful objects out of wood.
