SUMMARY:Tools & Skills – Part 1\, at West Philly Tool Library
DESCRIPTION:Tools & Skills: Part 1\nMay 11\, 2026 at 6:30 PM EDT — May 11\, 2026 at 9:30 PM EDT\n$75.00\n9 spots left\nWelcome to the first part of our core DIY series where you will learn how to use basic tools and learn basic skills to help you with your DIY projects. In this first course\, you will learn about all different types of saws\, drills\, and typical tools needed to hang a heavy backlit wall mounted mirror. \nYou might be asking\, why a heavy backlit wall mounted mirror? Well\, it applies to a very common household DIY project – how to properly mount an object like a TV\, projector\, or coat rack that must be hung properly to avoid injury. We also don’t have a huge stock of heavy backlit wall mounted mirrors\, so we will cut a mirror-shaped template out of plywood to mimic it. Thus this class gives students experience to a wide range of tools and materials\, which is the goal of Tools and Skills: Part 1! \nWe will use the following tools during this class: \nMiter saw\nPocket hole jig\nLaser level/bubble level\nDrill/impact driver\nRotary hammer drill with SDS Plus bits\nCircular Saw\nJig Saw\nStud Finder\nInspection Camera\nDifferent measuring tools \nYou will also get experience working with: \nDrywall\nDimensional lumber\nPlywood\nDrywall Anchors\nTapcon Concrete Anchors\nDifferent blades for different saws above \nThis is a hands-on class – so get ready to get your hands dirty and try out some basic tools and skills at the West Philly Tool Library! \nThe cost of this class is flexible. West Philly Tool Library is committed to keeping our classes affordable and accessible to as many people as possible. If you would like to pay less than the $75 ticket\, please use coupon code “DISCOUNT10” or “DISCOUNT20” for $10 or $20 respectively off the class cost. \nAlso please consider paying more\, if you are able\, to help cover the costs of hosting this class and others like it. \nCancellations and Credit: If you have signed up for a class but are unable to attend\, please complete the form at https://westphillytools.org/classes/request to cancel your enrollment.
