Wood SHOP

     The wood shop at Yakima Maker Space is equipped with a table saw, planers, router table, band saws, scroll saw, drill press, sanding machines, spindle shapers, wood lathe and a host of hand tools from palm sanders to jigsaws.  Our growing tool collection enables you to bring almost any project to completion!  This area allows up to three persons to use the wood shop area. 

     Members are responsible for cleaning all equipment used in this area before they leave. This includes sweeping the floor, vacuuming all tools. The general rule is to leave it better then you find it. Remember to check all tools before using and report all broken tools in this area to info@yakimamakerspace.org, do not attempt to repair a tool unless you have the express permission to do so. No food or drink allowed, and members are required to take out their own trash. 

     The wood shop is a popular area at YMS and it requires tool maintenance as well as expensive insurance.  Sanding discs and saw blades wear and need to be replaced. If you wish to donate by maintaining the equipment you are welcome to buy supplies for your community shop if you feel so inclined.
