About this Event

There is nothing more empowering than achieving something others said you should pay someone else to do for you!

She Bangs ToolSchool is for women, by women - and we're here to show you how you can Do-It-Yourself, together!


Homes require a lot of maintenance to keep them healthy & safe spaces, as well as prolong the property's life. Things break and need repair. And sometimes, you just want it to look pretty! With a range of tasks to get done in this small Melbourne apartment, this workshop series across July should definitely be on your to-do list!


With up to 8 workshops to choose from, we'll cover off several foundational and achievable tasks for your home. Come to one session, or all of them!


Session 1: Preparation & Painting -Architraves, Sills & Doors (Session 2 TBC)

· Learn more than you thought there was to know about paint and painting

· Understand different application techniques and how they affect your finish

· Use a range of tools to get full, even coverage


Session 3: Timber Benchtop Longevity (Session 4 TBC)

· Removing stains and scratches from timber

· Sanding to achieve an even, umarked finish

· Different options for sealing to protect (and be food safe)

· Bonus discussion: How to source materials and options to install


Session 5: Sealing & Caulking (Session 6 TBC)

· Removing & resealing with silicone

· Edging tiles

· Replacing a broken or missing tile

· Discussions about waterproofing and the Building Code

· Options to fill gaps of any size


Session 7: Installing roller blinds

· The difference between inside and frame-mounted

· Measuring for custom fit

· Correct and level installation


Session 8: Installing glass shower screen (TBC)

· Measuring for custom fit

· Install pivoted hinge door with fixed panel

· Fixing to tiled walls

· Making water tight


We'll be working on-site as a real life in-home project with a maximum group of 4. You'll learn loads of useful info, watch demonstrations and receive instruction from handywoman Sam, and most importantly, get hands on and have a go in this safe, female-friendly, uplifting environment.


Learn to use some new tools, discuss what you can and can't DIY (and why!), and get some tips about hiring trades when needed.
