SUMMARY:Intro to Hand Tools Workshop 🛠
DESCRIPTION:It is easy to get overwhelmed when walking through the hand tools  section of a hardware store or home center. The large number of different tools and brands makes it difficult to know what you need or how to choose! Join instructor Lee Taylor as he shares what tools are important to have in your home tool box and why.  Lee will also share what tools are gimmicks and what to avoid when shopping for tools. Bring your tool box along to the workshop and Lee will help you understand what you have and what you might need.  Also plan to join us September 5 for “Hand Tool Use” to learn how to use those tools!  **Please note that both of these workshops will focus on human powered tools (not electric or battery operated tools). Power tools will be covered later in September. \n\n\nEveryone is welcome. Bring a friend or meet new friends at the workshop. There is no charge for this workshop\, but registration is encouraged to ensure we have enough seating and materials available.

SUMMARY:Wood Window Repairs and Maintenance Workshop 🪟 (Part 2)
DESCRIPTION:Properly maintained wood windows can last well over 100 years! Modern vinyl replacement windows only last 20-25 years.

On July 25 we learned how to take our windows apart to repaint\, weatherize\, and replace sash cords and pulleys.
