On the 27th, we will have cleaned, sharpened, and painted all our tools. THIS small work party will be to make sure all the handles get oiled and the painting tape gets removed from everything. We will all work together to clean, paint, sharpen, and fix our combined tools.
What to Expect: We'll have fun, work hard and make a difference! No experience is necessary.
