SUMMARY:Introduction to Fine Woodworking - Spring 2026
DESCRIPTION:This course will take place May 19-20\, 4-6 p.m.\, at the Hurley High School Woods Classroom and Shop with instructor Tim Lutgen.\nLimited enrollment–sign up soon to guarantee a spot! \nRegistration fee includes materials (except for required personal safety equipment). \nTim Lutgen’s popular Introduction to Fine Woodworking class returns with a new project! This class will teach students the basic fundamentals of wood lathe operations and machine safety. No experience is required. Once students can safely operate the lathe\, they will turn pen stock (hardwood and/or acrylic) into a beautiful executive pen. Lathe equipment is affordable for home use\, and students can then use their new skills to create many more beautiful objects in their own homes! \nThe instructor will begin with an explanation and demonstration of all the equipment and tools used for turning pens. Then\, students will practice on pine stock to get familiar with the tools and to express their own design creativity. Students will then take wood and/or acrylic stock\, drill a center hole\, and insert/glue brass inserts in order to turn the pen blanks on the second day. After carefully turning the pen blanks to the student’s desired design\, assorted sandpapers will be used to bring the pen stock to a smooth\, glossy finish. Bee’s wax will then\nbe used to apply a high-gloss finish. Finally\, the pens will be assembled using a pen press. \nInstructor: Tim Lutgen \nRequirements: Hurley High School policy requires wearing safety glasses at all times while in the shop. Students must supply their own safety glasses\, which can be purchased at any hardware store. Students with long hair are required to use hair ties to prevent their hair from\naccidentally getting caught in the lathe. Food and beverages are permitted in the classroom but not in the shop.\nComfortable work clothing and shoes are recommended\, but please avoid sandals. Knit fabrics are discouraged due to the amount of sawdust and small wood chips produced during the turning process. \nMaterials Fee: The class registration fee includes a $24 materials fee\, including all hardwoods and consumable supplies \nRegistration Eligibility: Students who have previously taken an Fe University Introductory class with Tim are not eligible for this class. \nWe recommend signing up at least two weeks ahead of class to ensure class fills and to prevent cancellation. \nThis class is limited to 6 students. \nOnline Registration: Scroll down to our Registration form to register online!\n– or –\nOffline Registration: Download PDF Registration Form\, complete and mail in with payment. \nRegistration Questions? Contact us or call (715) 862-2032 or (715) 476-2881. \nRegistration Issues/Troubleshooting: If you are registering with one email address for two or more people\, please register each person individually (i.e. do not register all at once\, but add students one at a time to checkout). If you continue to have difficulty or have another question\, please contact us. \nCourse Cancellations: Students are encouraged to register at least 2 weeks before the beginning of any Fe University course. A course with less than 4 students 2 weeks before the start date may be cancelled at instructor/FeU discretion\, with students’ registrations refunded. If you’re interested in a class\, please sign up early! Thank you. \nStudent Cancellations: If a registered student cancels\, registration can be refunded if requested 4 or more days before the course’s start date. We’re afraid cancellation requests made 3 or fewer days before the course’s start date are unable to be refunded.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Fine Woodworking
DESCRIPTION:This course will take place February 26-29\, 3:30-6:30p.m.\, with Tim Lutgen at the Hurley High School woodworking shop.\nLimited enrollment–sign up soon to guarantee a spot! \nRegistration fee includes materials (except for required personal safety equipment). \nTim Lutgen’s popular Introduction to Woodworking returns for a second year! If you’ve ever wanted to build a project or piece of art out of beautiful hardwoods\, but are intimidated by power tools…  If you’d like to learn more about how to use woodworking tools safely…  If you need help in researching projects and determining where to begin….  This course may help you plan\, build\, and display your own creations made from select Wisconsin hardwoods! \nWhat you will make: Your own trivet made of Cherry\, Walnut\, Maple\, and Oak that is large enough to support a 9” x 13” baking pan or large cast iron fry pan. \nOptional additional item: Time permitting\, you may use your scraps to build a smaller trivet that will support a large pot. \nWhat you will learn: This course is intended for individuals who have little to no knowledge of woodworking and the safe operation of woodworking tools. You will learn: \n\n\n\nWhat each tool is used for and how to operate each of those tools safely\nHow to plan a project to use your time and materials effectively\nYou will work in pairs to create your own beautiful trivet made from Cherry\, Walnut\, and Maple\nYou will learn how to finish your work\, including the formulation of a custom blend of penetrating oils to optimize the appearance of the grain patterns\n\n\n\nOverview of class: \nDay 1:  Introductions\, Review of Syllabus\, Introduction to Hardwoods\, Introduction to Machine Tools & Safety with demonstrations \nDay 2: Project layout including determination of woods to be used\, quantities\, and sizes\, Initial machining of all components using a jointer\, table saw\, cut-off saw\, planer\, dado stack\, router table\, belt sander\, band saw\, and assorted hand tools. \nDay 3: Sanding\, fitting\, and glue-up \nDay 4: Band sawing excess slat ends\, final sanding\, finishing project using a blend of custom penetrating oils to augment grain and seal the wood\, wood burning of students initials/logo on to their finished pieces. \nRequirements: Safety is our primary concern.  So\, each student will need their own safety glasses\, hearing protection (ear muffs preferred over ear plugs)\, and clothing that is not so loose that it could get caught in the machinery.  Each student will learn how to safely operate and use the following tools under supervision: Jointer\, Table Saw\, Planer\, Cut-off Saw\, Router\, Band Saw\, Belt Sander\, and orbital sanders.   The class will be taught entirely in the woodshop and will require students to stand during class.   No textbooks are required but a notebook and pencil might be helpful for taking notes. \nRegular class attendance is critical for success in this class because there will not be time for a student to catch up on a missed class.  Cleanup of the workshop at the end of each class is required for all students. \nRegistration Eligibility: Students who have previously taken this Introductory class with Tim are not eligible for this class. New students may use this course as a prerequisite for any of Tim’s upcoming intermediate woodworking classes. Keep an eye out for the next intermediate class\, which will enable you to build a beautiful coffee table with kreg joinery in Fall 2024! \nOne section of last year’s class with their trivets! \nInstructor: Tim Lutgen \nOffline Registration: Download PDF Registration Form\, complete and mail in with payment. \nRegistration Questions? Contact us or call (715) 862-2032 or (715) 476-2881. \nRegistration Issues/Troubleshooting: If you are registering with one email address for two or more people\, please register each person individually (i.e. do not register all at once\, but add students one at a time to checkout).

SUMMARY:From Freshwater Shores to Shining Saltwater Seas: An investigation of environmental crises along the Mississippi River and beyond
DESCRIPTION:This class will take place January 31\, February 7\, 14 and 21\, 3:30-5:30p.m.\, at Hurley High School\, with Tom Fitz\, Peter Levi and Titus Seilheimer.\nThe cumulative impacts of fossil fuel use and large-scale agricultural production have led to a breaking point in environmental crises. The excessive heat\, destructive floods\, ocean dead zones and red tides have demonstrated that environmental crises are being felt locally and globally – but how will climate change and water pollution affect the South Shore region? \nUsing the Mississippi River as a case study\, we will explore the interconnectedness of ecology\, geology\, and human activities from the Midwest to the Gulf of Mexico. Then we will pull together the lessons learned and consider the coming decades along the shores of Lake Superior. Our objective is to describe the changes to our lands\, waters\, and communities from climate change and the science-based opportunities that can help us manage for a more resilient future.   \nClass 1 (Levi): Human stressors to the structure and function of freshwater ecosystems in the Midwest  \nClass 2 (Fitz): Geo-engineers: How humans have tried\, and failed\, to tame the mighty Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico \nClass 3 (Seilheimer): From floods to droughts and ever-changing water levels: Plotting the course of management actions in the face of uncertainty \nClass 4 (Fitz\, Levi\, and Seilheimer): The future of water and climate in the South Shore region of northern Wisconsin and Michigan \nRequirements: Strongly recommended reading: Breakpoint: Reckoning with America’s Environmental Crises by Jeremy B.C. Jackson and Steve Chapple \nInstructors: Tom Fitz\, Peter Levi\, and Titus Seilheimer \nOffline Registration: Download PDF Registration Form\, complete and mail in with payment. \nRegistration Questions? Contact us or call (715) 892-3982 or (715) 476-2881. \nRegistration Issues/Troubleshooting: If you are registering with one email address for two or more people\, please register each person individually (i.e. do not register all at once\, but add students one at a time to checkout).

SUMMARY:Introduction to Fine Woodworking
DESCRIPTION:This course will be offered in two concurrent classes of four sessions\, April 3-6\, 9:00AM to Noon\, and 1:00 to 4:00\, at the Hurley High School woodworking shop. \nEach class is limited to 6 students. \nRegistration fee includes materials (except for required personal safety equipment). \nIf you’ve ever wanted to build a project or piece of art out of beautiful hardwoods\, but are intimidated by power tools…  If you’d like to learn more about how to use woodworking tools safely…  If you need help in researching projects and determining where to begin….  This course may help you plan\, build\, and display your own creations made from select Wisconsin hardwoods! \nWhat you will make: Your own trivet made of Cherry\, Walnut\, Maple\, and Oak that is large enough to support a 9” x 13” baking pan or large cast iron fry pan. \nOptional additional item: Time permitting\, you may use your scraps to build a smaller trivet that will support a large pot. \nWhat you will learn: This course is intended for individuals who have little to no knowledge of woodworking and the safe operation of woodworking tools. You will learn: \n\n\n\nWhat each tool is used for and how to operate each of those tools safely\nHow to plan a project to use your time and materials effectively\nYou will work in pairs to create your own beautiful trivet made from Cherry\, Walnut\, and Maple\nYou will learn how to finish your work\, including the formulation of a custom blend of penetrating oils to optimize the appearance of the grain patterns\n\n\n\nOverview of class: \nDay 1:  Introductions\, Review of Syllabus\, Introduction to Hardwoods\, Introduction to Machine Tools & Safety with demonstrations \nDay 2: Project layout including determination of woods to be used\, quantities\, and sizes\, Initial machining of all components using a jointer\, table saw\, cut-off saw\, planer\, dado stack\, router table\, belt sander\, band saw\, and assorted hand tools. \nDay 3: Sanding\, fitting\, and glue-up \nDay 4: Band sawing excess slat ends\, final sanding\, finishing project using a blend of custom penetrating oils to augment grain and seal the wood\, wood burning of students initials/logo on to their finished pieces. \nRequirements: Safety is our primary concern.  So\, each student will need their own safety glasses\, hearing protection (ear muffs preferred over ear plugs)\, and clothing that is not so loose that it could get caught in the machinery.  Each student will learn how to safely operate and use the following tools under supervision: Jointer\, Table Saw\, Planer\, Cut-off Saw\, Router\, Band Saw\, Belt Sander\, and orbital sanders.   The class will be taught entirely in the woodshop and will require students to stand during class.   No textbooks are required but a notebook and pencil might be helpful for taking notes. \nRegular class attendance is critical for success in this class because there will not be time for a student to catch up on a missed class.  Cleanup of the workshop at the end of each class is required for all students. \nInstructor: Tim Lutgen \nOffline Registration: Download PDF Registration Form\, complete and mail in with payment. \nRegistration Questions? Contact us or call (715) 892-3982 or (715) 476-2881. \nRegistration Issues/Troubleshooting: If you are registering with one email address for two or more people\, please register each person individually (i.e. do not register all at once\, but add students one at a time to checkout).

SUMMARY:If These Waters Could Talk: Exploring the Natural History\, Ecology\, and Economics of Lake Superior
DESCRIPTION:This class will take place February 1\, 8\, 15\, and 22\, 3:30-5:30p.m.\, at the Hurley High School Auditorium.\nLake Superior is a globally unique resource containing diverse ecosystems with growing political influence via the freshwater “blue economy”. If these waters could talk will take participants on an in-depth exploration of Lake Superior\, from the formation of the lakes millennia ago to the interactions of native and introduced freshwater organisms today. The seminar will also cover the economics of the lake and look to the future of water quality and quantity in changing climatic and political times. Participants will be engaged through interactive discussions and provided with resources to continue exploring Lake Superior beyond our four-class seminar. \nThis class features three instructors with great expertise on Lake Superior — Tom Fitz\, Peter Levi\, and Titus Seilheimer. They will take turns team-teaching this class. \nClass One: The geology session will cover three episodes in the history of the Lake Superior region: the dramatic stories from long ago recorded in the bedrock; the geologically recent glaciation of the region; and the current situation with water collecting and moving through the Lake Superior basin. We will discuss the processes that created the landscapes and the important mineral\, soil\, and water resources that have been important in the human and natural history of the region. \nClass Two: We will explore Lake Superior’s intricate web of life\, from the microscopic organisms to the top predators and many animals in between. We will also discuss the human-induced changes to this web over the previous decades as non-native species have been introduced and blooms of algae have occurred more often. With Peter Levi. \nClass Three: The Great Lakes region is rich in freshwater. In the third class\, we will consider the policy and political landscape that protects this precious resource. With Peter Levi. \nClass Four: The final class will cover how the fisheries and economies of Lake Superior have changed over time. What species are important for the commercial and recreational fishers? What drives the economy of the Lake Superior\, from fish to iron to paper. \nIn the event of inclement weather\, class will be offered on Zoom. \nInstructors: Tom Fitz\, Peter Levi and Titus Seilheimer \nOffline Registration: Download PDF Registration Form\, complete and mail in with payment. \nRegistration Questions? Contact us or call (715) 862-0210 or (715)892-3982. \nRegistration Issues/Troubleshooting: If you are registering with one email address for two or more people\, please register each person individually (i.e. do not register all at once\, but add students one at a time to checkout). If you continue to have difficulty or have another question\, please contact us. \nThis grant-supported class is offered at a special price of $10. (Donations accepted)\nFeU is grateful to have received a grant that supports courses about water issues.
