11.3 Additional Woodworking Resources
WMT 101 is an introduction. Woodworking includes many additional materials, tools, processes, specialties, and approaches that cannot be covered fully in one course.
The following resources can help you continue learning.
WMT Wood Lab Safety Manual
The WMT Wood Lab Safety Manual contains the machine-specific safety requirements and operating limits used in the Cerritos College woodworking labs.
The manual, instructor demonstrations, required safety testing, and machine checkouts always take precedence over general information in this resource when you are working in the WMT lab.
Introduction to Woodworking Machines
Peter Scheidt's Introduction to Woodworking Machines provides additional explanations of common woodworking machines, machine parts, and woodworking operations.
