DVD's
At the sign-in desk, there is a box with DVDs that can be borrowed for viewing at home and a notebook to record their loans. They cover basic power tool use and some specific techniques for accomplishing basic tasks. These DVDs are produced by the Wood Workers Guild of America (WWGOA.com) and are on permanent loan to the shop from an OTOW Woodshop member. They are not able to be copied; please do not attempt it.
Due to the limited inventory of DVDs and their length, members may borrow only one DVD at a time.
The DVD should not be kept out for more than four days.
To sign out a DVD, find the page in the DVD Sign-Out Notebook for the DVD you are borrowing and enter your name and the date on the next open loan entry line.
When you return the DVD, place it in the correct location in the DVD box and enter the return date on your loan entry line in the DVD Sign-Out Notebook.
Please report any damage or loss to a board member.

WS-01 OTOW Woodshop Website Overview
WS-01 OTOW Woodshop Website Overview
Working with any equipment can be extremely dangerous - therefore it is very important that our members know the safe and proper use of the shop equipment.
The shop education policy is to help members learn basic, safe machine operation. See Shop Policy 6 - Education in the Documents section of this website. The woodshop is a club of persons interested in woodworking, many of whom are willing to share their knowedge, but it does not function as a woodshop school.
Members who are not familiar with the equipment they intend to use should seek assistance before using the equipment and risking injury or equipment damage.
Equipment demonstrations are scheduled on a regular basis - to view the demonstration schedule visit the Calendar page of this website. An overview of each demonstration is provied on the Eq. Demo page. Members are also notified via email of new demo's and/or schedule change.
Also when new or upgraded equipment is placed in the shop, orientation sessions are scheduled. These sessions are also placed on the shop Calendar.
For assistance in developing advanced woodworking skills (finishing, fret work, box joints, dovetails, etc) you can ask some board members for leads to members that may be willing to tutor you or you can ask around the shop to determine if there is someone that would work with you.
