SUMMARY:In Person Workshop - Intro to Your Toolbox - Intensive (Sept 19/26)
DESCRIPTION:Intro to Your Toolbox Intensive (3-Hour Hands-On Session)\nGot tools sitting at home you don’t use… or standing in the aisle thinking “I should know this”? You’re not alone — and you’re not behind. Join me\, Tammy from Canadian Handywoman and the Home & Farm editor for Harrowsmith\, for a 3-hour\, hands-on toolbox intensive designed to help you finally feel comfortable using the tools you’ve been avoiding. This isn’t a quick overview. This is where you actually learn how to use them. Designed by women\, for women\, this session gives you the time\, space\, and support to get your hands on the tools\, try things out\, and build real confidence — not just watch someone else do it. \nWhy This Workshop Exists\nMost women were never actually shown how to use tools in a way that builds real confidence. \n\nSo things get put off.\nTools go unused.\nAnd even small jobs feel bigger than they need to be.\n\nThis workshop exists to change that. You’ll get the time\, space\, and support to actually use the tools\, understand how they work\, and feel comfortable doing it yourself. Because once you stop guessing\, everything gets easier. And you start seeing your home as something you can handle — not something that handles you. \nWhat you’ll learn:\n\nHow to confidently use these essential tools:\n\nScrewdriver\nAllen keys\nHammer\nPry bar \nTape measurer\nLevel\nPliers\nWrench\nPainters tool\nDrill\n\n\nWhat each tool is for — and when to use it\nHow to choose the right tool and fastener for the job\nHow to handle these tools safely and with control\nThe basics of materials like wood\, screws\, and anchors\nHow to connect it all so you can actually get started on your own projects by building a small take-home project!\n\nThis isn’t a sit-back-and-watch kind of workshop. You’ll be using the tools yourself\, asking questions\, and figuring it out in a supportive\, no-pressure space. No experience needed — just curiosity and a willingness to try. \nEvent Details\n\nDate: Saturday\, Sept 19th  9:00 am to 12:00 pm\nLocation: Wallbridge Loyalist Road & the 401\nCost: $198 (HST included)\nFormat: Hands-on\, in-person\nSpots: Limited to 6 participants\nTools provided\n\nIf you’re ready to stop second-guessing\, start using the tools you already have (or finally know what to buy)\, and feel capable in your own space — this is your starting point. \nThis Workshop Is For You If:\n\nYou’re a homeowner who’s tired of feeling unsure\nYou’re handling things on your own and want to feel more confident\nYou’ve used tools before but still second-guess yourself\nYou’ve been avoiding small fixes because they feel more complicated than they should\n\nThis Is NOT For:\n\nLicensed tradespeople\nAnyone looking for certification or formal training\nFull renovation or advanced-level work\n\nThis is about real-world skills and practical confidence in your own home. \n👉 Click HERE to save your seat — \nThis one changes how you see your home and what you’re capable of.
