In this 4-hour class you will gain hands-on experience with each of our woodshop machines, with precision and safe handling techniques, as the instructor guides you through the process of turning a raw piece of lumber into a retail grade "cutting board."

**About the instructors: **

Eric Dunder inherited the heart of an artist and the mind of an engineer, and finds woodworking the perfect outlet for his ambitions. He has worked as a cabinetmaker for M.R. Brewer Fine Woodworking in Portland since 2018, after completing the highly selective Furniture Comprehensive Program at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Rockport. A native of Oregon, Eric previously studied commercial aviation, photography, and environmental studies. His cabinetry has appeared in articles in Décor Maine and Maine Homes by Down East.

Ted Russell is a retired engineer who has been making things out of wood for more than 50 years, from barns and sheds to simple furniture, toys, and weaving accessories. He still uses a 70+ year old Shopsmith multi-purpose tool in his home shop. As Factory 3 Assistant Director, he designed the dust collection system for the woodshop, and oversees the maintenance and improvement of tools and facilities.
