A few weeks ago a friend told me about a clinic that Home Depot offers for women. It's a chance to learn to use power tools, and walk away with a fun project. I actually really enjoy woodworking, so I was all in. It is usually offered on the third Thursday of the month, in the evening. It's casual, fun,the associates are great..... oh, and the best part......it's FREE! The website states that you pay for materials, in reality the materials for the project itself are included in the FREE, you pay for anything extra to finish your project, like stain or paint. I personally left mine unfinished to finish at home, but there were women who stayed to finish their projects under the guidance of the associates at the store.
I signed up online for myself and a friend. We arrived a few minutes before 6:30. The project area was set up in the lumber area, the staff was ready and waiting. A very friendly associate greeted us, and passed out instruction sheets. All project pieces were prepped, which made it a ton of fun for me, as I am usually the one who does the prepping for craft project, an extra specie treat. Everything we needed was on the tables, occasionally one might have to wait a few minutes for a tool, but the ladies were all friendly. Associates spent time going from table to table offering assistance and making sure we had everything we needed. In the end, we all went home with a super cute wagon for fall decoration. It's good sized, made with one of the crates that they sell for $11.
If you are local, join us for the next workshop, we would love to see you there (no I am not a Home Depot employee). If you are not local, check it out and find a Home Depot near you, gather a few friends.....it's a ton of fun!
