Everyone starts somewhere — this is your somewhere. Whether you’ve got a random screwdriver in a drawer or a barely-used drill in the garage, this hands-on workshop gives you the confidence to use your tools the right way — and know what they’re actually for.
This in-person class builds tool confidence while introducing the basic home repair skills every adult should have. You’ll learn how to match the right tool to the right job, how to approach simple projects without overcomplicating them, and how to avoid the common mistakes that make things worse instead of better. It’s the perfect starting point before diving deeper into electrical, plumbing, or bigger builds.
