Library offers a space to craft projects out of wood

September 25, 2019 By Christine Holtzman

The Foundry Makerspace’s woodshop, located inside the Land O’ Lakes Branch Library, 2818 Collier Parkway, frequently hosts open hours when a volunteer is available, and there’s not a formal class taking place. At these open hours, individuals can work on any project that they choose. The shop is open to anyone age  9 and older. Younger users must be supervised by a parent. Users are welcome to bring in their own ideas or choose plans from the dozens of magazines on hand. Participants can use wood that’s been donated, or can bring in their own. There’s no charge to use the workshop. Anyone using the shop must sign a waiver. To find out more, call (813) 929-1214.

Foundry Makerspace volunteer John Pritchard drills into a block of wood, to make pen blanks, for an upcoming class. The woodshop frequently has classes to make items, such as bird feeders, toys, and jewelry boxes.
Eighteen-year-old Joshua Bloom, of Land O’ Lakes, uses a large belt sander to smooth the surfaces of the unique vase he made by gluing 16 broken skateboards together. Bloom is making this masterpiece for his girlfriend, Lydia.
