The Edinburgh Tool Library

Basic Home DIY Tools & Skills - a hands-on introduction!

CVE Shed at Spylaw Public Park

<h1>What to expect?</h1>Many people don&#x27;t know where to start with DIY and are unsure as to the right tools to use or how to use them. This session will introduce different tools and help you understand how to approach common tasks such as hanging your pictures / other items up -- as well as finding out about different types of walls and what fixings to use. This is a hands-on workshop where you will be guided through using the tools and putting them to use. No experience is necessary; our volunteers will walk you through every step at four different &#x27;stations&#x27;.<h1>Important info</h1><h3>Beginners &amp; non-ETL members welcome!</h3>You do not need to be a member of the Edinburgh Tool Library to attend this session. Although we highly recommend to <a href="https://edinburghtoollibrary.org.uk/membership/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">join</a> so that you can borrow tools on the day and practice your new skill home.<h3>B﻿ooking etiquette/cancellation</h3>If you book a space but can no-longer attend, please cancel your booking as soon as possible.
