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 or a Woodworking Shop Orientation session at Chase's Mill, you may drop in to use our tools and equipment during open shop time - Thursdays 6pm-8pm and Sundays 9am-noon from June 26 through August 28, EXCEPT Thursday, July 3 and Sunday, July 6. The shop will be closed those days.

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.

Before using a power tool, Greg Weisel, our Woodworking Shop Steward, will give you a brief safety orientation to that machine. Greg is available during each open shop time to provide guidance, help with tools, and maintain our safety policies. Feeling shy about working on a self-directed project or rusty about your skills? Come in and make a simple project like a cutting board or a plant stand to get warmed up.

Youth ages 9+ are welcome to use hand tools during open shop time with an accompanying adult, and, after either completing a woodworking class at Chase's Mill or attending a one-hour Woodworking Shop Orientation, offered in 2025 on Thursday, June 26 from 6-7pm and Sunday, June 29 from 9-10am.

Class Size: 6 / Open to adults and children ages 9 years and up with accompanying adult

Woodworking Shop Steward Greg Weisel will share both shop safety information and give a basic introduction to the tools and equipment that are available for community members to use during regularly scheduled Open Shop time. Attendance at an Orientation session is required before using the Shop. If you have taken a woodworking class at Chase's Mill, attendance at an orientation may be waived. Anyone wishing to use a power tool will be given a safe usage training to that machine prior to using it. These will not be part of the basic orientation, but will be given as needed during Open Shop time.

Youth ages 9 and up are welcome to attend the orientation and then use the hand tools in the shop with an accompanying adult. Youth ages 16 and 17 are allowed to use the power tools after attending a Woodworking Shop Orientation and having a safe usage training to the power tools, with the permission and guidance of a parent or guardian.

All those using the shop will also be asked to review and sign the safety policy for the Mill and the Woodworking Shop. This one-hour orientation as well as Open Shop Hours are free to the public.

If neither this scheduled orientation time, nor the one on Thursday, June 26 from 6-7pm work for you, please contact hello@chasesmill.org to request an orientation.

Greg Weisel, Woodworking Shop Mentor, has been building things both practical and fanciful since his youth. Greg is a life-long educator focusing on the design and implementation of inclusive programming for all learners and participants. He strives to create teaching and learning environments that foster a sense of shared responsibility for successful outcomes. He looks forward to sharing all of his experience and training with the Chase's Mill community this summer and beyond.
