Power tools are awesome.  They are powerful and efficient.  But there is a lot to know before you can use tools safely and well.  Because we value safety in DGWW, we offer:

  • A general Power Tool Safety Badge to get you started, covering rules of safe use that are common to many tools and that will help you work safely in wood shop, and
  • Three categories of tool-related badges, for many different types of tools:
    • Tool Information Badges, that show you have learned about a tool.
    • Tool Safety Badges, that show you have learned what you need to know to be safe when using the tool, and
    • Tool User badges, that are awarded after using a tool safely in three projects.

Before you are authorized to use a tool, you must earn the information badge and the safety badge associated with that tool.

The tool-related badges are accessed from a series of pages listed below.
