We will provide the required tools\, protective equipment and work stands. \nYou will have the opportunity to purchase tools. \nPlease wear clothing you do not mind getting dirty as you will be dealing with grease and grime. Aprons and gloves will also be provided. \nBooking Info\nThe event is free but booking is required. You can choose to purchase a ticket with a donation.
