The Craftsman’s Field Trip: Supply Store Guide
About 1 Hour | $30 per person
Ever walk into a hardware or building supply store and feel like you need a map, a translator, and a professional contractor just to figure out where to start?
We've got you covered!
Join Ever After Craftsmen Co. for a hands-on walk through a local building supply store where we'll take the mystery out of the aisles and introduce you to the tools, materials, hardware, and supplies that make up the world of construction.
We'll explore 2-3 different departments and talk about what's there, what it's used for, how to choose the right item, and when you might actually need it. You'll get to see different types of tools, fasteners, lumber, measuring tools, safety equipment, adhesives, and more.
And this isn't a lecture—ask questions! If you've ever wondered:
"What's the difference between all these screws?"
"Which drill bit do I need?"
"Why are there 47 kinds of tape?"
"What kind of wood should I buy?"
"What does this tool actually do?"
Bring your questions. We'll help you figure it out.
A guided tour through the different supply store aisles
Introduction to common tools and equipment
Learn about different types of hardware and fasteners
Explore lumber and building materials
Learn how to identify supplies and understand their uses
Tips for choosing the right materials for your project
Plenty of time for questions and real-world advice
A chance to become more comfortable navigating a building supply store
No experience necessary. Whether you're a complete beginner, a new homeowner, a DIYer, or someone who simply wants to understand what all that stuff on the shelves is actually for—this field trip is for you.
Come curious. Leave confident.
$30 per person | Approximately 1 hour
Guides: Andy Baker & Erin Bankston
