tool school!!

As part of Boulder's ReSource Tool Library, a Tool School has started up! They are offering interesting classes that cover things like how to build a cold frame, a top bar bee hive, an andirondack chair, a backyard pizza oven, and the list goes on. So if you've needed some structure and guidance to get those DIY projects of your dreams started, sign up for a class with this wonderful community organization!

boulder is getting a tool library

(photo source: takomabibelot)

I'm excited that Boulder is getting a tool library. Our friends Libby and Tristan built their tiny house/gypsy wagon primarily using tools from a tool library in Santa Fe--proof that you can accomplish a lot without requiring your own woodshop and expensive tools! I'm hoping for a thickness planer I can use on salvaged wood.

Boulder's Tool Library is happening through the efforts of the Center for ReSource Conservation and Adam Jackaway, who went through the same graduate program as me. You can vote here every day until September 10, to help the idea win a $20,000 grant. Read more about the tool library: here.
