Hosted by Ashleigh from Merge Building
Welcome to The Handywoman Project — a workshop designed to give women the skills, confidence, and encouragement to tackle DIY projects at home. Whether you’ve never held a power tool or you’re ready to level up from flatpack assembly, this beginner-friendly session is all about learning by doing (and having a whole lot of fun while we’re at it).
Led by qualified carpenter and builder Ashleigh from Merge Building, this edition of the project will guide you step-by-step through building your very own wooden caddy — perfect for tools, plants, art supplies or anything else that needs a stylish home.
Ashleigh is passionate about creating safe, supportive spaces where women can learn practical skills, ask questions freely, and walk away with both a finished project and a boost of confidence.
What you’ll learn:
🔨 How to use basic hand and power tools
🧰 Tips on measuring, cutting, drilling and assembly
💪 Confidence to start tackling your own DIY wood projects
No experience needed — just bring your curiosity and we’ll supply the rest (tools, materials, good vibes and afternoon tea).
Let’s build something together — starting with your woodworking skills.
Important safety things to note - As we are using power tools, please wear closed in shoes, tie up long hair and keep accessories to a minimum. Safety glasses will be provided on the day.
This workshop experience is unlike any other and is not to be missed!
