Follow along with the video to build a picket frame with us! Grab plans on our DIY Projects page, find materials and tools at home or your local home improvement store and plan for about an hour for assembly.
Fall 2019 Women's Woodworking Wrap-Up
We just wrapped up our fall women’s woodworking series. 12 women built their own projects including cutting boards, wood art, cornhole, planter boxes, bread box, headboard, stool, tables, jewelry holder and displays. They learned how to safely use tools including the table saw, miter saw, jigsaw, bandsaw, planer, router, sanders and drill press. Check out these photos and stay tuned for our next series in the spring!
October DIY
Just when we thought we couldn’t travel any more in one month, we did DIY classes in Hood River, Pendleton, Friday Harbor and Roseburg! From bat houses to magnetic chalkboards to rustic tea shelves; women and kids built and took home their own projects. Check out the photos to see how much fun we had!
September DIY
Wow, what a month! We were all over Oregon and Washington from Friday Harbor to Pendleton with Cle Elum in the middle. :)
July DIY
This month we traveled to the outer regions of Oregon and Washington for our kids DIY classes in Pendleton and Friday Harbor! Kids learned about robins and built platforms for them. Did you know that some birds prefer a different style of house? In case you missed it, the DIY Guide is posted on our DIY Projects page.
June DIY Classes
This month we held DIY classes for kids and ladies in Hood River, Pendleton and Friday Harbor! We made mason bee houses, hanging planters, picket frames and rustic tea shelves that everyone got to take home. Check out our Projects page to make your own by clicking on each photo for instructions.

April Ladies & Kids DIY Classes @ Pendleton Tum-A-Lum Lumber
We were so excited to hold our first ever ladies DIY class at Tum-A-Lum Lumber in Pendleton, OR! 35 ladies joined us in making address planters out of cedar and customized with their own address numbers. Then on Sunday we had 30+ kids join us to build wood duck houses out of cedar as well. So cool to see the kids build something that was as big as some of them!
Kids and Ladies DIY Classes @ Marson and Marson Lumber
We had a jam packed weekend with DIY classes at Marson and Marson Lumber in Cle Elum and Leavenworth this weekend. Over 50 women and kids learned and refined their woodworking skills! The ladies built address planters and learned the awesomeness of the Kreg jig for pocket holes. The kids built toolboxes and then loaded up with snacks for their projects at home! We can’t wait for the next round of classes in September!
