Portland: Serving Tray Workshop (July)

Serving Tray Workshop

Join Dykes With Drills at The ReBuilding Center in Portand for this fun beginner workshop and learn to make a cool serving tray perfect for entertaining! In this workshop, participants will learn to safely use the chopsaw, drill press, and brad nail guns to make their own serving tray. Participants will also learn about “finishing” techniques (sanding, staining, painting, polyurethane, etc.) to personalize their tray but finishing will be done on your own time.

This is a project-based class where you learn and leave with your new piece of custom furniture! No prior woodworking experience required.

This workshop takes place at Rebuilding Center, located at 3625 N Mississippi Ave in Portland.
