This hands-on workshop is a welcoming entry point for anyone who wants to get comfortable using the table saw while making something useful.
You’ll learn essential table saw safety, proper setup, and core cutting techniques like ripping, crosscutting, and making consistent, repeatable cuts. With guidance from an experienced instructor, you’ll put those skills to work by milling parts, cutting joinery, and assembling a simple wooden box to take home.
Designed for beginners and makers looking to build confidence at the table saw. No prior table saw experience is required. Basic familiarity with hand tools is helpful, but not necessary.
This program includes a $10 for Maker Space Members (use coupon: MEMBER2) or $35 for non-members. Space is limited.
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.
