A limited selection of short length (4′ or less) specialty hardwoods (mostly Cuban Mahogany) can be purchased from the Woodshop. Email woodshop@tskw.org for inquiries.

For a wider variety in wood types and length, we recommend our friend on Big Coppitt, Mike. He has a great selection and is nearby. His phone number is (305) 797-5747.

1. No jerks allowed. The Woodshop is a shared space. Be mindful, respectful and patient with the people around you. Keep your space tidy and leave time to clean up before you’re done. The Woodshop Monitor is in charge, but is a human being too, so be nice.

2. No drinking or drugs. Consumption of alcohol or any substances which may impair judgment or coordination, including medications, are strictly forbidden while any tools are in use, including by others. Similarly, no one under the influence of substances consumed elsewhere is allowed in the Woodshop while tools are in use, including by others.

3. Keep food outside. You can eat at the tables outside, but keep food and drink (except water) outside of the Woodshop.

4. Supervision Required. The Woodshop may only be used in the presence of a Monitor who has been designated by The Studios.

5. Authorization Required. You may only use equipment and tools for which you’ve been authorized by a Woodshop Monitor.

6. Dress appropriately. Shoes with closed toes required while using tools. No dangling jewelry or clothing, and long hair should be pulled back. Eye covering is required while using power tools.

7. Know your materials. Know whether any materials you use are toxic, corrosive or flammable. No pressure treated wood. Store and dispose of them properly. Not sure? Read the label or ask the Monitor.

8. Know where the First Aid Kid is. And report any injuries to the Monitor.
