🛠 Community Workshop Take home something you built. Give it to someone cute.
Farewell to Sineah of , who is leaving Denver after SIX YEARS of teaching some of the Denver Tool Library’s most beloved classes. 🥹🪵
Since 2019 (maybe longer??) Sineah taught Hex Shelves, Mountain Shelves, Bookshelves, Leaning Shelves, Step Stools, Cedar Planters, Macramé, and honestly more than I can remember because she predates our own record keeping. Making beginners feel at home in the woodshop while keeping things fun is basically the DTL ethos, and Sineah had a huge part in building it.
Her classes are on a break for now, but (some of them) will definitely be coming back, so keep an eye out. Good luck Sineah - we miss you already! 💕

A massive thank you to the 20+ volunteer menders, bike techs, tinkerers, BBQers, checker out/inners, and more who made the Repair Fair happen a few weeks back! 🩵
YOU make extraordinary events like this happen by showing up purely to help strangers fix things, share resources, and pass on skills.
Our volunteers are the heart of the Denver Tool Library, helping with everything from tool repair, shop organizing, spreading the word, and slinging hot dawgs at Repair Fairs. Whether you're a seasoned carpenter or are terrified by power tools, we have a place for you!

What’s a Repair Fair?
Repair Fairs are free events where community members can bring broken everyday items, such as toasters, bicycles, pants, and more, for free repairs by local volunteer fixers. These fairs offer a chance to learn valuable repair skills, reduce waste, and connect with your neighbors. No repair experience is required as our volunteers will guide you through fixing the items you bring in (limit one item per person please!).
