Learn the fundamentals of creating strong, clean, and reliable wood glue-ups. This hands-on workshop covers surface preparation, glue selection, proper application, clamping techniques, alignment, and cleanup. Participants will practice edge-gluing boards and gain confidence in producing flat, durable panels for future woodworking projects.
This hands-on workshop is a welcoming entry point for anyone who wants to get comfortable using the table saw while making something useful. No prior experience required.
Note for members: This will be a great session for those who are joining the Lathe 102 course: Twig Pot. Members that pay the lab fee for the glue ups session will have lab fee waived for a future session where they use the blank created in this workshop.

Meet your instructor: JASON ROBINSON
After studying Fine Art and Graphic Design in college, Jason Robinson stepped into a leadership role that allowed him to grow as a digital artist, leader, process improvement manager, and teacher, trainer, and mentor. While he always maintained a strong interest in the arts, his creative pursuits often took a backseat to his professional career. In 2020, like many others, he found time to explore new creative processes, which led him to discover woodturning—a craft that has captivated him ever since. Following an early retirement in 2025, Jason began turning full time and actively engaging with Muncie’s vibrant Maker community. Jason’s role as an active member in the Maker Space at MadJax led to his staff position as the Maker Space Manager in August 2025.
