116 has a shop training in the early fall. Every student goes through it each year, even if they are 4th year students. One of the adults, usually Dave, goes through the shop and basically goes over everything, from a screwdriver up to the bandsaw and table saw. It usually lasts an hour or so. The adults and seasoned students keep an eye out during building as well as being available to help anyone who needs it.

There are usually about 4 sessions over a 2 week period for students to goto, and are mandatory for everyone. Students need to goto only one, but 4 makes it easier for them to make it to one, as well as making the size more managable.

The mill and lathe are advanced training, usually done on an expressed interest basis.
