Wood Shop Basics: Coat Hangers

About

A single afternoon at the machines, ending with a solid hardwood coat hanger you assembled yourself from dowels and hanging hardware. Makeville is at 119 8th St in Gowanus, a five-minute walk from 4 Av-9 St on the F, G or R. $150 plus a $45 materials fee, $195 in total — the cheapest way into a Brooklyn wood shop on this calendar, with Makeville's multi-week courses starting at $380.
