Bay Area: Plant Stand (February)

  • Ace Makerspace 6050 Lowell Street Oakland, CA, 94608 United States (map)

Plant Stand Workshop

Join Dykes With Drills at Ace Makerspace for this fun beginner workshop and learn to make a cool plant stand! In this workshop, participants will learn to safely use the chopsaw and drills to make their own plant stand. Participants will also learn about “finishing” techniques (sanding, staining, painting, polyurthaning, etc.) to personalize their stand but finishing will be done on your own time. No prior woodworking experience required.

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

COVID-19 Protocols

Your safety is our highest priority, so we have put safety protocols in place for all of our in-person workshops to keep everyone safe. Those protocols are:

  • All instructors, assistants, and participants will be required to show proof of vaccinations and wear masks while attending workshops. We do not have enough masks to provide to everyone, so you will be required to provide your own mask.

  • Everyone should follow recommended safety precautions, such as coughing into your elbow and refraining from touching their face.

  • All of the tools, equipment, door handles, cabinet and drawer handles, etc. that are touched will be disinfected both before and after the workshop.


Our Credo:

1. Give people independence and confidence
2. Create communities of people through project based collaboration
3. Learn from our mistakes
4. Access both financially & physically
