Classes for stuff that does NOT require certification

General
1

What classes do people want to see at the hive? Specifically, is there anything we currently have that technically doesn’t require certification, but people would like to be taught how to use anyway?

Thanks,

Potential classes of interest

Cabinet making - Basics of doors, drawers and cabinet casing. - Learn to do it and make the first project for Hive13 kitchen and other locations

  • This would include making fixtures for the miter table to hold and feed parts

Furniture repair and refinishing

Oscilloscope fits well in what I’m looking for, thanks! The list I currently have put together is below. My goal with this list is to list the things that we need to be providing classes for to allow members (particularly new members) feel like they are able to use the hive fully. Other classes like cabinet making, residential electrical work, and Furniture repair and refinishing are definitely things I would like to see offered here, but I see them as a separate category of class, like a “project class” vs. a Tool/Equipment training class.

Please everyone review the list below and let me know if I have missed something!
