The Sun City Woodworkers Club strives to continue to provide
training to improve each member’s skill level. To that end, we have several
classes conducted by experienced woodworkers. Special emphasis is given to
the safe use of our equipment. Members desiring to attend these classes
should sign up at the monitor’s desk in the shop. You will be given a
complete outline for the class at that time.
Prepayment for the classes ($5 to $10) is required to reserve
a spot in these controlled size classes.
