Under-bed Lego storage and workstation

WORKSHOP SAFETY IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT​

Working with hand tools and power tools can be dangerous if proper precautions are not taken

You will undergo a detailed safety orientation at the beginning of the workshop, and several reminders as required.

Safety glasses and ear muffs are available for use during the workshop. Nitrile gloves will be provided while applying finish. You should bring their own mask and wear them while using power tools that generate wood dust.

You must sign a safety declaration form before the start of the workshop – this is a mandatory prerequisite. Please bring a signed copy on the first day of the class.

 

CLOTHING 

It is important to dress in safe wear while working in a workshop – Long pants/ jeans/ shorts and half-sleeve T-shirts/ shirts/ tops. Full sleeves, flowing fabrics and loose-fitting outfits are not allowed. Shoes are mandatory. Long hair must be tied in a ponytail or a bun.
