Before using a power tool, Duane Case, our Woodworking Shop Steward, will give you a brief safety orientation to that machine. Duane is available during each open shop time to provide guidance, help with tools, and maintain our safety policies.

With: Duane Case, Woodworking Shop Steward

Chase's Mill is very excited to provide open shop time for the community. There is no charge for using the shop or tools; participants supply their own raw materials.

If you have attended a wood shop class at Chase's Mill, you may drop in to use our tools and equipment during open shop time Sundays 9am-noon until October 4.

While Chase’s Mill maintains hand and power tools from the 19th century for education and demonstration, we also have everything you would hope to find in a 21st century woodworking shop.

Back this year- the Lumber Bank. Need one more piece of wood? Want to make something small? Shop our by-donation Lumber Bank and get going right away.

Youth ages 9+ are welcome to use hand tools during open shop time with an accompanying adult.
