Started a project and need a little help and tools to finish it? Rob will be in the shop on Wednesday evenings available to help you finish up your projects. Give us a heads up that you’ll be coming in and we’ll save a spot of you. Only 3 students/evening.
Spend an evening with friends or make some new ones! We’ll be turning candlesticks on the lathe. We have space for 10 for this fun night!
Anvil Academy will be down at World of Speed with opportunities to try your hand at blacksmithing, or woodturning and take your picture with the stagecoach. Fun event for the whole family.
Do you have tools that you just aren’t sure how to use? or want to learn how to use shop tools? Let us take the fear and the mystery out of woodworking and making jigs to use your router to it’s fullest potential. Rob has been working with wood for most of his life and would love to teach you about shop tools, especially routers. Bring your ideas and questions, or just come and learn some of the secrets that most of the professionals don’t want you to know.
Are you needing a few tools that you don’t have in your woodshop to finish up a project – come down to Anvil and Rob will be there to work with you and get your projects finished up. Please register so that we don’t get too many in the shop at one time. $25/hour

Make your very own cutting board while learning how to use Anvil’s power tools. We will cover using the planer, ripping on the table saw, cross cutting on the miter saw, curved cuts on the bandsaw, doing a decorative edge with the router, and using a sander to finish the project.
This is a great chance to get to know, or brush up on the most powerful tools in the shop. This class is a pre-requisite for open shop access and you get to take home your cutting board. This class is for anyone 12 and older.
We’ve added a new class the first one filled so fast!
BUILD YOUR OWN LONG BOW TAUGHT BY MASTER CRAFTSMAN JOHN STRUNK
This is a unique opportunity to learn Bow Making from a Master Craftsman. You just have to search his name in Google to find that he is a highly sought after teacher and mentor. Check out this article on Travel Oregon.
“When John carefully crafts his next “tool” from the 6-foot long, lanky stick of wood, it’s clear that the Tillamook County resident has a master bow maker’s touch. For nearly forty years, Strunk has tried and succeeded in creating everything just like native people might have: the bows, the arrows, quivers and broad heads. The natural materials he prefers for bow making include: bamboo, maple, osage and the long popular and gorgeous Yew wood.”
This class is only open to 10 students, so reserve your spot. It will be Saturday and Sunday, March 24 & 25 from 8 – 5 pm. Cost is $250+Bow staves which are provided by John. He brings a variety to choose from and they range in price from $50 to $125. They are purchased from John at the time the class begins.
