Pledge: PL(A)YWOOD

We are looking at purchasing a set of basic woodworking tools for the space for use in the weekly PL(A)YWOOD sessions.

The idea is to build a basic starting toolset that allows a group of people to come together and 'do' woodwork every week.

The current portfolio of tools in the workshop are not sufficient to get us started, so I've put together this pledge to enable us to begin.

Note that this pledge is UNDER CONSTRUCTION and will go live on Saturday 17th November 2013. Please comment on this page with any suggestions for additions (see also the message board post, headed PL(A)YWOOD.

Feel free to add your pledges before the 17th November if they are unconditional.

Pledge opened: Saturday 17th November 2013
