Young woodworkers welcome!

Curious little carpenters can touch the tools and learn from more-experienced colleagues. On Saturday, we’ll also have craft activities and a scavenger hunt for Forklift Fans of all ages. You can put together your own Hardware Windchime, or grab your grownup’s hand and roam the warehouse looking for our hidden Reuseasaurs (we have prizes for successful scavengers)!

Vintage tools too…

During the event, you will also have a rare chance to browse Community Forklift’s selection of vintage tools and hardware (normally sold only online).
