Not every job requires extensive training and industrial machines. Sometimes, all a maker needs is a hammer. Most makerspaces will have a tool bench featuring commonly used tools such as hammers, screwdrivers, wrenches, and hand saws. To gain access to all the tools in the tool bench, be prepard to demonstrate that you can use this equipment safely. Then hammer to your heart's content!

OVERVIEW
Adding fundamental hand tools to your skillset can make you a better woodworker. At the end of the day, there's no need for fancy power tools -- a woodworker can still accomplish almost anything with a knowledge of basic hand tool best practices and a bit of elbow grease.
At the heart of it, woodworking is about working with lines and measurements. Learning how to properly use hand tools to saw, plane, and chisel to that line with great precision is the key to success, and that's why we recommend most woodworkers go through an introductory tool best practices course as a jumping off point.
