Woodwork: Half day bench rental (Sunday or Monday 1pm-4pm)

Have you been trying to get your own project off the ground, yet just don’t have the space? You can now hire a workshop bench in the woodwork studio to work on your own projects!

We are trialling a new service of hiring out workbenches in our woodwork studio for community members to use short term, or longer term.

Gain access to our space and library of tools, where our knowledgeable woodworking facilitators William and Anna will be on hand to provide useful making tips and tricks.

Please note: To use the workshop you will first have to undergo an induction to our space, tools and machinery

What we can provide;

• – Full induction to all workshop machine tools, provided as your first session 
• – Small project storage on a temporary basis
• – Support and guidance from on-site facilitators
• – Access to electrical hand and bench tools (after induction)

After your induction you will have access to our library of tools including;

• – Table saw
• – Thicknesser
• – Band saw
• – Pillar drill
• – Table router
• – Hand router
• – Belt sander
• – Chop saw
• – Jigsaws

Please note the following items are not included within a session membership;
