• Operate core machines: joint, plane, shape, rip, resaw, and chop.
• Use power tools with precision: drill, route, drive fasteners, cut biscuits/dominos.

• Handle finishing stages: grain popping, filling, sanding, and final inspection.
• Maintain shop machinery (jointer, planer, table saw, shaper, bandsaw, wide belt) and keep tools sharp and true (replace bits/blades; hone cutters and irons).
• Proactively identify issues; perform minor repairs and adjustments.

Lead the Flow

• Keep the shop clean, safe, and organized; manage lumber inventory and tallies as assigned.

• Join weekly meetings with woodshop, estimation, and technical teams to align priorities.
• Partner with the lead woodworker on standards and best practices; offer informal coaching to junior team members.
