Recap: Wool Mittens Workshop

We had so much fun sewing wool mittens last month! Our group of mitten-makers gathered together for a fun morning of instruction and sewing. The results were as colourful as they were cozy! 
Recap: Demo Night - Intro to Home Plumbing

Our plumbing expert, Blair, taught a Plumbing 101 course to a group of enthusiastic DIY-ers! We learned the basics of how to fix a toilet that runs, a faucet that drips and a shower that leaks. We also discussed how to deal with water damage, odours and faucets that are too tight. 
Thanks Tool Ninja Blair!
Recap: February Repair Cafe

This Repair Café at Lee Valley Tools was all about fixing small wooden objects! We had some great repairs, including small wooden toys, chairs, a wooden cabinet, a frame, and some stools. One of our friends, Chris, brought in a wooden spoon that had split down the middle. We decided to give it a second life and turn it into a new wooden fork!
