6:00 PM, Woodshop Mentor Series - Jack Ryan
Description
If classes are full or you are unavailable at the regularly scheduled time, please email charles@elementalwoodworks.com to to schedule a new class time.
Have a project you need help with designing and/or building? Want to learn or refine a woodworking technique? Bought a tool that you're not quite sure how to use? The Woodshop Mentor Series, taught by Asmbly shop steward and professional woodworker, Charles Leininger, is a project based class designed to help woodworkers of all experience levels create their next woodworking project.
Each week, students will receive hands-on training and advice on their own project build. Each student will determine what they need help with most. This could be something as specific as how to best join together table parts, or as broad as taking a project from initial design all the way to completion. Students will be able to return each week until either their project is complete or they no longer need assistance.
Whether you are a complete beginner or have advanced woodworking skills, students of all experience levels are welcome.
As with all classes taught at Asmbly, safety is paramount. Instruction during the Woodshop Mentor Series will emphasize safe and proper tool usage. It is required that each student has taken the Woodshop Safety Class. Students may contact Charles about auditing his regular woodshop safety class if they would like a refresher before joining the Woodshop Mentor Series.
Instructor Bio:
In addition to serving as an Asmbly instructor and shop steward, Charles Leininger is a professional woodworker. His business, Elemental Woodworks, focuses on heirloom quality furniture and home goods. He has experience designing and building a wide variety of pieces, both custom and production. His portfolio may be viewed at www.elementalwoodworks.com

In this class you will be introduced to laser cutters and learn the process of going from a design to cutting/etching on our Ruida controlled lasers, including Tarkin - a large format laser capable of cutting through materials up to 1.5" thick. You will practice this procedure several times and even make your own personalized first project. The software you'll use with our lasers is LightBurn (LightburnSoftware.com) and the process you'll practice is generally usable across most laser projects.
When you've finished the class you'll walk away with a step-by-step guide to using Asmbly lasers, a personalized project you'll have cut by yourself, and the certification to use Asmbly's Ruida controlled laser cutters going forward.

Description
This class provides an introduction to our woodworking shop, with a focus on safely using a miter saw, table saw, planer, band saw, router, and drill press.
9:00 AM, Metal Lathe w/ Joe
Description
Why: The metal lathe is one of the 2 tools you could use to rebuild the entire world. Its versatility is very understated. Prior to the invention of the metal lathe we could only get close to being round. Making spacers, turning a new handle, properly drilling a hole in round stock, and cleaning up round stock.
Update: I got some new Iscar carbide inserts that are capable cutting steel and aluminum. The main difference is the rpms for the two types of metal.
Topics covered in this course:
- Safety
- How to use the aluminum chop saw for cutting stock
- Parts of the metal lathe
- How to indicate a part
- How to face a part
- How to turn a part
- How to center drill, drill, and use a boring bar
- How to knurl
- How to part a part
- Clean up procedure
You will get a handout, a greater appreciation of the metal lathe, an Iscar carbide insert, and an aluminum keepsake.
10:00 AM, Rebekah Vinyard Private Class
Description
This class will cover the following topics:
Safety
Basic setup of the welder
How to weld beads
How to tack weld
Weld a butt, tee, and overlap joint
Cover the use of the tools in the metal shop

Cover cleanup
Dress: Natural fiber long pants, natural fiber shirt, and closed toe shoes

In this class you will be introduced to laser cutters and learn the process of going from a design to cutting/etching on our Ruida controlled lasers, including Tarkin - a large format laser capable of cutting through materials up to 1.5" thick. You will practice this procedure several times and even make your own personalized first project. The software you'll use with our lasers is LightBurn (LightburnSoftware.com) and the process you'll practice is generally usable across most laser projects.
When you've finished the class you'll walk away with a step-by-step guide to using Asmbly lasers, a personalized project you'll have cut by yourself, and the certification to use Asmbly's Ruida controlled laser cutters going forward.
