• Monitors:

  • They are all volunteers.

  • They sign up on our calendar to monitor. The SEPO Office has a copy of this calendar.

  • Only monitors have keys to the shop.

  • There must be a monitor in the shop at all times for safety reasons.

  • As long as a monitor has the shop open, woodworkers who have had the "safety training" are welcome to come in and work OR check out equipment (small items like hand tools, ladders etc.) for a minimum of three days.
     

• Hours:

  • Normal (Summer Seasons) - ​

    • Open only when a monitor is there. It is kind of a catch 22.

    • If anyone needs in the shop they can always call a monitor.
       

  • Normal (Winter Seasons) - ​

    • Monday thru Friday - Woodshop is open for use (as long as a 'monitor' is available) from 9:00 am to noon AND 1 to 4 pm.​​

    • Saturday and Sunday - ​It is 'hit or miss'. But a monitor is usually there working on projects.​
       

  • In fairness to the Monitors, if there is little activity, they may close early, so if you wait until 5 minutes before closing time you may be disappointed. If you have a crisis need, you can contact any Monitor to find a time other than the above.
     

• Orientation: Woodshop orientation sessions for new residents/renters or anyone who would like a refresher course are generally held during the Winter seasons by John Chajec (708-280-8940). He notifies the community via SEPO email when these classes are scheduled.
   

• Meetings: Woodworker Meetings are held the 2nd Monday of every month beginning October through March. They start at 1 PM and last about one hour or less.
   

• Cleanup: Woodshop cleanup is the first Tuesday of every month at 7:30 AM and takes about an hour.
   

• Details:

  • No fee (most HOAs, RV resorts charge a fee).

  • Shop is open to members year-round.

  • Shop is a 40' by 60' building.

  • Woodworking building holds the latest and some of the best woodworking tools around. The lathes are used often.

  • Members can work with power equipment after attending a Safety and Information class.
