"Want to learn how to handle power tools safely? Learn the safe handling of power tools while building your own tool box.

In this WorkSpace Safety course, you will receive training on the safe usage of the following tools: #BandSaw, #TableSaw, #MitreSaw, #DrillPress, drill, and belt & disc #sander. You will have ample time to try out each tool, with the result being the creation of your very own toolbox.

This course is required for anyone who wants to use the above listed tools in our #WorkSpace.

Every workshop attendee gets a free 3 hour pass to our WorkSpace (value $26). Pass needs to be used within one month of this workshop.

Please dress appropriately for working in a woodshop: closed-toe shoes, hair tied in the back, and no loose clothing. It's important to be on time for this workshop as this is a safety course and all information is important. Late arrivals may not be able to join.

For more information on our WorkSpace and when you can use it to work on your projects, check out our webpage."

This is the way. Rode over to Liverpool Tool Library to pick up a couple of tools for the new house DIY.

Ran into Granby Street Market en route, as I'd forgotten it was the 1st Saturday of the month. Bumped into @defnetmedia while navigating that, who reminded me that Homebaked coop have a stall there, so bought pie for lunch. Also bumped into Kirsty during the pie side-quest.

#BuffaloNY - #DareToRepair #RepairCafe at Northland Workforce Training Center

Next event, Monday, April 20th!

"Dare to Repair Cafes are community events where people can bring in broken objects like lamps, vacuums, bicycles, toys, clothing, sewing machines, PCs, laptops, and small electronics to be repaired — free of charge — by volunteer fixers. By following along during repairs, attendees can learn the skills they need to fix things on their own.

The #ToolLibrary is a community-driven, membership-based nonprofit that gives community members access to thousands of tools, free educational programming, and a community of doers and makers."

Borrowed my first tool from #LiverpoolToolLibrary today.

Most helpful in the ongoing task of pulling up the floors to fit insulation in the new gaff.

"#Libraries can offer a lot more than just books. Whether it’s a #SewingKit or a step ladder, tool libraries can provide #SustainableSolutions for communities to complete their personal projects in a way that promotes #reuse, discourages needless #consumerism, and saves people money.
