2nd Sunday Builders- Mothers Day Tool Box

Build a beautiful reclaimed-wood toolbox — perfect for garden tools or crafts. A heartfelt, handmade gift just in time for Mother’s Day.

What’s This All About:

This May, we’re building something practical, personal, and perfect for gifting: a reclaimed wood toolbox that’s as beautiful as it is useful. Whether you’re making it for your mom, with your mom, or as a mom, this hands-on workshop is all about celebrating care, craft, and functionality.

You’ll learn to measure, cut, and assemble using salvaged materials from the RBX yard — with guidance from Beech Tree Studio’s expert teaching. The final piece is sturdy enough for gardening tools, craft supplies, or kitchen gadgets, and charming enough to live on a shelf when not in use.

Come solo, bring a friend, or team up with someone you love. No experience needed — just a willingness to try something new and leave with a handmade gift (or a well-earned treat for yourself).

What You’ll Learn

• Basic woodworking and upcycling techniques
• Safe use of shared tools and materials
• How to plan, measure, cut, and assemble your own TOOL BOX (or 6 pack carrier?)
• Finishing tips to make your piece gift-ready or display-worthy

What You’ll Leave With

• A functional, handmade toolbox
• Confidence in using tools and working with reclaimed materials
• New skills and new friends
• The option to personalize your piece to fit your space or style

Cost

$95 per person – includes all tools, materials, and instruction
No prior experience needed — just bring your curiosity and creativity.

Who This Is For

• Total beginners and weekend warriors alike
• Makers who love sustainable, reclaimed materials
• Anyone looking for a unique Sunday experience
• People who want to create, not just consume
