Find yourself with a project to do and no place to start? Unfamiliar with the Vancouver Tool Library inventory and the functions of the tools? See the principles of physics at work in our Intro to Tools Workshop (and never question the real world applicability of high school classes again).
After this workshop, participants will leave with the confidence to name and use basic tools necessary for everyday projects. Our goal is for you to feel comfortable working with a variety of different tools in your own home. Safety around introductory power tools will be discussed and your new skills will be put to work through lots of practice!
When: Sunday, November 18th, 2012, from 11:00am-2:00pm
Where: The Tool Library, 3448 Commercial Street
Cost: $15 for VTL Members | $20 for Non-Members
What to Bring: All materials will be provided. The workshop will take place outside so wear comfortable, tighter-fitting clothing that is weather appropriate. Avoid dangly accessories for safety reasons.

The beautiful garden you nurtured this year produced a multitude of fresh vegetables all summer. Keep it alive over the frostier months with a cloche greenhouse that you can learn to make in our Winter Garden Construction Workshop.

Become familiar with the Vancouver Tool Library’s inventory while observing the step-by-step instructions on how to recreate this project in your own backyard. Participants should be familiar with the use of power tools but, as always, safety procedures will be described in detail. After this workshop, you’ll be able to benefit from your hard work earlier this year for months longer than you previously thought. Instructor Kimi Hendess will also go over what types of vegetables grow best in the colder months and how to prepare them for the lower temperatures.
