Do students need to bring any supplies?

Note taking supplies are encouraged, but not required.

Project materials will be provided. 

What should students wear?

Required: Closed toed shoes.

Required: Long hair must be secured.

Required: No loose clothing or jewelry.

Strongly Recommended: Long Pants (that go over the tops of shoes). 

Strongly Recommended: Closed front shirts. V-neck and front button up shirts can let sawdust in. Short or 3/4 sleeves are best, some long sleeves can be rolled up and that's fine.) 

What about Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)?

Required: Eye safety. SnoCo does have face shields that students will use when actually turning, regular safety glasses are always a good choice in a shop all the time!

Required: Hearing protection. Ear plugs are best. Ear muffs may interfere with face shield operation. Turning is noisy but not as not as much as other woodshop machines.

Strongly Recommended: Dust mask. 

We look forward to seeing you!
