About this event

If I want to make only straight cuts, which saw would be the most suitable for me? What kind of sanders are there and which one would be the best one to have in a household? Should I invest money in tools or perhaps it would make sense to lend tools… We also talk about where to source the best and most sustainable material, how to design and plan your projects so that it would save you time and money, and also a little bit about different wood types. Of course, I will answer all your woodworking and design-related questions. During this three-hour workshop, we will also dig deep into the Wood Sisters toolbox and test all the most common power and hand tools. You are going to learn how to use a drill, orbital sander, and different kinds of saws so that you would have the basic knowledge for being able to build DIY woodworking projects. I will share with you everything you need to know to be able to design and build your own Zero/Low waste furniture. My name is Anna-Liisa and I am a furniture designer and urban woodworker. Mostly women attend my workshops, but sometimes men come too.
