    Furniture Design 101: From Concept to Cut List

In the third session, we review principles of good design and how to sketch even if your not good at drawing. And in the last session, we will explore all the aspects of completing your project. The course is meant as a introduction for people wanting to design what they make in the wood shop.

    Desire for self-expression required.

    Tools Covered

    Shop time will be limited, but joinery will be demonstrated in the shop.

    What to Bring

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • Clothing suitable for the wood shop — close-toed shoes, no loose or dangling clothing or accessories

    This class is for every homeowner who would like to have a better working understanding of their home AC unit and learn basic troubleshooting and maintenance skills. Learn the steps you can take before you call a company to solve simple issues. We will be working on a demonstration condensing unit and evaporator.

    Skills we'll learn in the class together: How does your refrigeration system work? Major components. How to use an electrical meter to look for problems. How to change out the most common components. Summer maintenance items. How to spot an issue that will need a professional. When to change your system.

    Participants are welcome to bring pictures and model/serial numbers of their current home systems. You are also welcome to bring your own electrical meter. Fluke is the industry standard but Klein are a good choice for homeowners.

    NOTE: *You must attend the general Twin Cities Maker Orientation ("New Member Orientation") in addition to our Ceramics Studio Orientation.* 

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

    The general orientation will orient you with the makerspace as a whole, while our ceramics studio orientation will focus specifically on the processes and procedures in our shop. We recommend completing the general orientation before the ceramics orientation. You do not need to attend orientation before taking a class or workshop.  However, orientation is a requirement to keep using the studio after a class or workshop ends.

    Our ceramics orientation will cover: 

    • Our Safety and Firing Waiver 
    • Consumables (clay, glaze, firing)
    • Check-In and Check-Out Procedures 
    • Reserving Tools
    • Classes vs. Sign-Offs (the free sign-offs allow you to bypass our mandatory 101 classes through a verbal and physical demonstration of skill)
    • ... and most importantly: a Studio Tour!!!

    Come prepared to ask questions and have fun!
