FAQ
At a minimum, you must take Orientation to the Woodshop to access open studio in the Woodworking Studio. If you want to use any tools covered by a safety checkout class, you must also take that class first. Woodshop Tool Safety Checkout 1 qualifies you to use the table saws, jointers, planers, miter saws, and drill press. Woodshop Tool Safety Checkout 2 qualifies you to use most of the bandsaws, stationary sanders (spindle, disc, drum, and edge belt), routers and router tables, and scroll saws.
Except for a few holidays or BARN events, open studio sessions are:
- 9 am to 3 pm every Wednesday
- 3 to 9 pm every Thursday
- 9 am to 3 pm every Friday
- Noon to 6 pm every Saturday and Sunday
After you take Orientation to the Woodshop and Woodshop Tool Safety Checkout 1 and/or Woodshop Tool Safety Checkout 2, the Membership Coordinator will reprogram your fob so it opens the main shop door during open studio hours.
Please note that the instructor will still need to open the door before a class, since classes aren’t at open studio times.
If you have taken the required classes and your fob doesn’t work during open studio, please contact the Membership Coordinator, membership@bainbridgebarn.org.
No, unless you are signing up for a class that has no prerequisites. Regardless of experience, you must qualify for Open Studio by first taking Orientation to the Woodshop. Tool Safety Checkout 1 and/or 2 are required before you can use the tools those classes cover. Experienced woodturners can qualify for lathe work by scheduling a private evaluation session with the head of the woodturning program.
If you are not a member of BARN you will be charged $20 each day you work in Open Studio.
