St Paul Tool Library
755 Prior Avenue NorthIn this introductory woodworking class you'll learn how to use the Table Saw, Miter Saw, Planer, Drill Press, and Oscillating Sander to create an eco-friendly addition for the kitchen counter.
This class will be taught by our very own Mark Thosen, and is a simplified version of one of the products he makes and sells at SolarTreeGoods. He'll share how this multi-purpose drying rack was developed, researched, constructed and refined for market; and provide a basic design template and hands-on instruction so you can create not one, but TWO drying racks - just in time for holiday gift season!
Various modifications will also be discussed and participants will be able to customize their racks by electing different sizes/shapes for posts, adding finishes, and routing base edges as desired.
Drying Racks encourage reuse and reduce plastic waste by providing a functional and attractive way to dry and reuse plastic bags, beeswax wraps, reusable cups, baby bottles, and so much more! You can gift a little something to yourself, the earth, and a friend!
