EcoFest: Wood Workshop By WomenzShed

Diy 'plantastic' planter box workshop

Inspired to grow your own plants and skills? Our 'plantastic' wood workshop is perfect for beginners who are interested in making something functional to take home or for gifting. Our small class sizes will not only give you the opportunity to learn and practise useful techniques and skills, it will build your confidence to have a go at other projects at home.

You will learn how to build the planter box from palings, though the design could also be adapted to make use of other wood such as pallets. Tools and machinery available include the circular saw, drop saw, bench saw, drills, electric planes, brad nailers, and sanders.  Techniques include measuring and cutting, rebates (aka rabbets), drilling and fixings, butted and mitred joints.
