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.
