Toy drive target: 200 toys
The jigs are set and the pine is stacked — build weekends start November 21.
A workshop, a coffee pot, and good company
Men don’t talk face to face. They talk shoulder to shoulder.
A shared workshop where retired tradesmen, first-time woodworkers, and everyone between build projects, swap skills, and keep each other going. (This is a fictional demonstration site.)
- Serving since 2016
- Sampleville and area
