Woodshop

The 'Not Metal Shop' Operation Policies 2006

Our mission is to facilitate the students in fulfillment of their course work by making available as much information, tools, and processes as our facility and staff can safely handle.

When we cannot facilitate a student's technological need we shall direct the student as best we can to alternatives and possibilities. Therefore it is easier for us to state what we do not work in rather than all the possibilities in materials and processes that we can work in.

We are The Not Metal Shop. All work in the shop must be for course work.
