Serving Tray Workshop

Join Dykes With Drills at Rebuilding Exchange to make your own unique reclaimed wood serving tray in a comfortable and inclusive environment! In this workshop, you will learn basic woodworking skills while constructing a serving tray out of reclaimed wood and drawer pulls/cabinet handles or leather straps (optional).  You will choose from a variety of tray design options and use the chop saw and brad nailers to assemble the tray. 


Price

$70 / per person
$100/ per couple

Note: If you buy a Couples Ticket, then one serving tray will be made by the couple. If the ticket type you want is not available, we may be able to accommodate! Email workshops@rebuildingexchange.org to ask.

Accessibility

Are you in a wheel chair? There is wheel chair access in the building, however not all of the tools are accessible or set up to be operated safely by someone in a wheel chair. Some modifications in the shop can be made if we know in advance that you are coming.

Do you have a low scent tolerance? We ask that our participants refrain from using extreme scents, though cannot guarantee the workshop space will be scent free. Please know that sawdust is present in the shop and we have masks available upon request.

Are you ASL? We currently don’t have translation available, and would love to work with you about how you can access our workshops.
