Community Woodworking Shop

Open seasonally from June to September

To stay up-to-date on Community Woodworking Shop open shop times and classes please join our mailing list.

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 or purchase them from our lumber bank.

If you have attended a woodshop class at Chase's Mill, you may drop in to use our tools and equipment and “shop” at the by-donation lumber bank for small amounts of wood. Youth ages 9+ are welcome to use hand tools during open shop time with an accompanying adult. 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.

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.

Contact us with any questions.
