Open Shop Time

Chase's Mill is very excited to provide open shop time for the community.
There is no charge for using the shop or tools; participants supply their own raw materials.

If you have attended a wood shop class or a Woodworking Shop Orientation session at Chase's Mill, you may drop in to use our tools and equipment, and 'shop' at the by-donation lumber bank for small amounts of wood. Open Shop Times are Thursdays 6-8pm and Sundays 9am-12noon. 

While Chase’s Mill maintains hand and power tools from the 19th century for education and demonstration, we also have everything you would hope to find in a 21st century woodworking shop.

The Lumber Bank. Need one more piece of wood? Want to make something small? Shop our by-donation Lumber Bank and get going right away.

Youth ages 9+ are welcome to use hand tools during open shop time with an accompanying adult, and, after either completing a woodworking class at Chase's Mill or attending a one-hour Woodworking Shop Orientation.
