    What tools do we have? Where are they? What do they look like?

    Our wiki (wiki.tcmaker.org) needs an overhaul, and we need a group of volunteers to pull it off. Expect a glass of wine, collaboration with fellow makers, and a better-organized collective knowledge base.

    No experience needed! Bring a laptop since we'll likely only have one PC set up, but keep in mind this first meeting will be heavily focused on planning, styling, and structure.

    We'll be starting fresh with a MediaWiki (like Wikipedia) installation, pulling from the current Wiki.js setup for source material—at least for the parts that aren't wildly out-of-date.

    Resin 3D Printing

    Curious about high-detail 3D printing? Want to print miniatures, detailed models, jewelry prototypes, or parts with smooth finishes? This is a great place to explore resin printing.

    In this hands-on session, we’ll walk through the complete resin workflow using our Anycubic Photon M5S Pro printers. You’ll learn printer setup, file preparation, washing and curing, and safe cleanup practices so you feel confident working with resin.

    If you’ve used filament printers before, the process will feel familiar, just a bit messier.

    Resin printing can have a noticeable smell, and we provide the necessary PPE, including gloves and masks.

    You do not need to complete the Beginner or Intermediate filament classes before attending. If you’re all new to 3D printing, we recommend starting with our 3D Printing Lab Orientation and Beginner Class to learn filament printing on the Prusa i3 MK3S printers. The Intermediate class unlocks access to the Bambu X1C (with AMS) and P1S printers.

    If resin printing is what excites you most, feel free to jump right in and register.

    By the end of the session, you’ll be checked off to use the Anycubic Photon M5S Pro independently.

    We also offer 3D scanner training for the Creality Raptor Pro upon request.

    If the class is full, reach out and we’ll try to schedule a 1:1 session depending on availability.

    Got questions? Email 3D@tcmaker.org and we’re happy to help.

    Master the Mortise and Tenon

    This hands-on workshop teaches on how to use the bench-top mortiser and the table saw tenoning jig for repeatable, fast and accurate joints.

    Learn the joinery technique that has held furniture together for centuries. This is a great alternative to the Festool Domino's loose tenon or hand-cut methods. You will learn how to dial in your setups for repeatable, precise joints that offer maximum strength and a professional finish. Whether you're building a table, chair or shelf, this class provides the technical foundation you need for heirloom-quality results.

    Experience Level

    Experience using table saw and drill press recommended, but not required.

    Skills You Will Learn

    (1) We will learn why mortise and tenon joints are preferred for making quality furniture, (2) dive into mortising machine set up for repeatable and accurate cutting of square holes, (3) and the safe execution of vertical cuts on the table saw for precise tenons. After the class, you will be able to achieve gap free joinery on any project.

    What to Bring

    Clothing suitable to the wood shop. Wear close-toed shoes and avoid loose, dangling clothing and accessories.

    Eye and hearing protection is required. Dust masks and eye/ear protection are available to borrow but bringing your own is recommended.

    About the Instructor

    Tim Bednar is an Assistant Wood Shop Manager at TC Maker and also teaches the Woodworking 101 class. After studying at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, he spent many years as a minister and then web developer before returning to the furniture design and woodcraft.

The class is suitable for beginners and a solid refresher for more experienced woodworkers.

    Tools covered include the jointer, planer, table saw, bandsaw, miter saw, and palm sander.

    What to Bring

    Participants should wear closed-toe shoes and avoid loose-fitting clothing.

    This class requires Woodworking 101 or equivalent experience.

    Master Precisions Glue-ups with Biscuit Joiner

    This hands-on workshop teaches you how to use a biscuit joiner to cut perfect oval slots for fast, repeatable, and hidden wood alignment.

    Learn a clever joinery technique that uses oval "biscuits" that makes the glue-up process simple and precise. This is a great improvement to a plain edge-to-edge joint and simpler than dowels or Dominos. You will learn how to dial in the biscuit joiner for flush surfaces that require minimal sanding and offer a professional, gap-free finish. Whether your project requires a tabletop, shelf or panel, this class provides a technical foundation for efficient use of expensive wood.

    Experience Level

    Some experience using a table saw is required.

    Skills You Will Learn

    (1) We will learn why biscuits keep panels flush during glue-ups, (2) dive into referencing the machine fence versus the baseplate for repeatable slot depth and height, (3) and the safe execution of plunge cuts to ensure your joints stay exactly where you marked them. After the class, you will be able to tackle your next glue-up with confidence and get precise results.

    What to Bring

    • Clothing suitable for the wood shop — close-toed shoes, no loose or dangling clothing or accessories
    • Eye and hearing protection (required) — dust masks and eye/ear protection are available to borrow, but bringing your own is recommended

    About the Instructor

    Tim Bednar is an Assistant Wood Shop Manager at TC Maker and also teaches the Woodworking 101 class. After studying at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, he spent many years as a minister and then web developer before returning to furniture design and woodcraft.

    NOTE: *This class is required for ceramics studio members who do not pass or do not attempt the hand-building sign-off. Members must either pass the hand-building sign off or take the 101 course to hand-build in our studio. Thank you!*


    Questions or trouble signing up for this class? Email ceramics@tcmaker.org.


    Through the 6-week hand-building ceramics class (101 series), students will learn the fundamentals of working with clay including knowledge and understanding of pinch, slab, coil techniques, and surface decoration. Students will also understand clay properties, how to prevent cracked work, and the proper techniques to glaze application for firing. 


    The skills acquired in this course will serve as the hand-building foundation on which you may take more advanced classes and/or learn in open studio time. 

    Come ready to get messy. Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty; don't worry about clay on your clothes - it washes right off! Most importantly, come ready to have fun!

    Master Box Joints on the Table Saw

    This hands-on workshop teaches you how to use our INCRA I-Box jig on the table saw to create repeatable box or finger joints without gaps.

    Learn the art of the classic box or finger joint—a technique prized for its mechanical strength and beauty. Unlike miter joints, finger joints showcase corners making them the perfect choice for your next project. By mastering the setup and execution of these joints, you’ll be able to create gap-free corners that are as beautiful as they are durable. Whether you're building a delicate jewelry box or robust shop storage, this class provides the technical foundation you need to make heirloom quality work.

    Experience Level

    Confident use of a table saw is required.

    Skills You Will Learn

    (1) We will learn why finger joints offer superior mechanical strength compared to other corner joints, (2) dive into joint spacing, (3) and practice safe vertical cuts to ensure perfectly flush corners every time. After the class, you will be able to produce gap-free finger joinery that adds a professional, custom look to any project.

    What to Bring

    • Clothing suitable for the wood shop — close-toed shoes, no loose or dangling clothing or accessories
    • Eye and hearing protection (required) — dust masks and eye/ear protection are available to borrow, but bringing your own is recommended

    About the Instructor

    Tim Bednar is an Assistant Wood Shop Manager at TC Maker and also teaches the Woodworking 101 class. After studying at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, he spent many years as a minister and then web developer before returning to furniture design and woodcraft.
