Introduction to the Wood Workshop (Saturday PM Winter Series) by WomenzShed
Event description
INTRODUCTION TO THE WOOD WORKSHOP
Our very popular 5 week series of 2 hour workshops covers some of the equipment found in our wood workshop. It's suitable for novices or anyone wishing to upskill, particularly in power-tools and machinery. If you are new to woodworking, attending this workshop is a requirement of our Membership sessions which we are currently running on Tuesday evenings.
Each workshop session offers the chance to use different tools and machinery in a supportive, friendly setting while doing good for the community building items for our partner, Urban Ark - Manawa Taiao.
