The world of power tools can seem intimidating for women – but it shouldn’t be! AARCH believes strongly in empowering women to build and wield personal and professional DIY skills safely and confidently. We are teaming up with regional contractor and construction firm owner Leisa Almekinder to explore the importance and uses of power tools exclusively for women. Through this workshop, learn from a professional how to safely and effectively use the most critical power tools . Participants will walk away from this experience with an expanded knowledge of how to use a range of power tools in DIY work.

This workshop is led by Leisa Almekinder, founder, and owner of AG Construction. The workshop will begin at 9 AM and ends around 3 PM.

These projects have been funded in part by a grant from the John E. Streb Fund for the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
