 * You can't learn woodworking on a wiki page... Go to the wood shop and start making things!
 Here are a couple things to keep in mind:
 * Some wood dust can be toxic. Be aware of the type of wood you are working with.
 * Blades and cutters are very sharp so always think before touching.
-* Be aware of the location of your fingers in relation to blades and cutters. Never let your hands or finger come close to the blade path.

 ===Gluing===
 Glue joints (when done correctly) will create a bond stronger than the wood itself. To create a strong glue joint follow this general procedure. It is worth noting that gluing end grain yields a very weak glue joint and should be avoided.
 # Ensure that both surfaces that you wish to glue are flat or mate together well.
 # Dry fit your glue joint with clamps. This will ensure that your joint fits properly and that all necessary clamps are close by and sized correctly when you go to apply glue.
 # You can never have too many clamps.

 # Recognize that once you start applying glue you are on a clock to finish setting up the glue joint before the set time.
 # Apply a bead of glue on one surface of your glue joint. Then, spread out that glue into a thin film using your fingers, a glue brush, or a glue roller.
-# Repeat step 5 for the other surface of your glue joint such that both surfaces have a thin, even film of glue.
+# Repeat step 6 for the other surface of your glue joint such that both surfaces have a thin, even film of glue.
 # Quickly use a paper towel to wipe your fingers clean of glue. The goal here is to remove most of the wet glue so it doesn't get spread all over your lumber. Do NOT take the time to clean all of the glue.
-# Using the clamps you already gathered, clamp your glue joint together
+# Using the clamps you already gathered, clamp your glue joint together.

+# Again, you can never have too many clamps.
 # After 5-10 minutes, wipe up the excess glue squeeze out.

 The wood shop is a 975-square-foot space. It contains all the equipment listed below as well as many power tools, hand tools, and other woodworking items. It also contains a large CNC router. The shop is equipped with compressed air quick connections for powering tools and machines. There are two air filtration units hanging from the ceiling. When producing wood dust, turn on the filtration units with the white remote control. These do a good job of removing a large percentage of the wood dust from the air. The [[Dust Collector|dust collectors]] are not considered equipment, but you should know how to use them if you are working in the wood shop.
