Do I have to take the intro to woodworking class to use the facility?
All members must participate in the Intro to Woodworking orientation class for general safety, regardless of previous experience prior to using any part of the facilities
Do prior certifications let me skip orientations?
We value your experience, but our orientations are required. They cover Maker Cube-specific safety procedures, shop policies, and expectations. Different shops do things differently; a short orientation ensures we’re all aligned and safe.
Who can operate tools?
Every operator must have their own active Maker Passport and complete the corresponding orientations. (Safety and accountability first)

Guests are welcome to observe, but are not permitted to use any tools in the facility until they take the orientations and hold their own Maker Passport.

Closed-toe shoes and safety glasses are required at all times.
