Our classes are an excellent introduction to the White Flint Creations Woodshop  utilizing state-of-the-art tools and expert guidance.

These classes are ideal for beginners, advanced beginners, and intermediates who need a refresher.  Our instructors are enthusiastic woodworkers with vast experience with the WFC tools and have  excellent communication skills.  Classes are limited to a maximum of 4 participants to guarantee personal attention and minimize time waiting for tools. Students can expect lots of hands-on practice and guidance.

Beginner and intermediate woodworkers are encouraged to take the classes offered below.

Anyone using the WFC shop must adhere to WFC safety procedures taught in course 100: WFC Safety Certification Program (the “Program”) which  consists of two parts:  Part 1 is an online safety exam ( a learning tool so don’t worry it’s easy!).  Part 2 is a hands-on safety tour of the woodshop.  Course 100 is included as part of class 101, Introduction to WFC.

After you sign up for a class, you will be emailed a link to the online exam (Part 1 of the Program).  All the answers for the exam are in the WFC Member Woodshop Manual (on our website under the tab “Memberships”).

The WFC manual has information about shop operations and a chapter with safety procedures and videos covers each tool on the exam.  The manual is an excellent resource for answers to the exam questions and overall shop safety.  If you have any difficulty or questions, send an email to WhiteFlintCreations@gmail.com.

Note: The WFC Safety Certification Program (course 100) is offered as a standalone course and is included in the price of all WFC memberships. Within 3 months of taking these classes (100 or 101), if you decide to join WFC, you will be reimbursed for the difference between the member and non-member course fee. Moreover, because you will have completed the Program, you can begin working in the shop immediately after registering for membership.
