IN TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES, TAP YOUR INNER DIY
Toronto, ON (January 14, 2009) — Forget about tightening your belt, just strap on a Tool Belt and head for the 25th Annual Canadian Home Workshop Show (February 27 — March 1, 2009 at the International Centre, 6900 Airport Road, Mississauga). You too can easily learn how to save money and be creative at the same time — just do-it-yourself!
The Canadian Home Workshop Show is Canada's largest and longest running do-it-yourself woodworking show, offering the latest in tools, power equipment, products, plans and techniques.
Over 30,000 visitors will arrive in search of ideas, inspiration and advice for renovating, creating furniture, making unique shop-built gifts and home accessories.
Hammer It, Saw It, Build It
Available for sale are professional plans from Canadian Home Workshop magazine for building furniture and creative projects. If you are a novice, you may want to "cut your teeth" on a craft project like a tool caddy, book ends or candle holder.
Craft projects also have a built in bonus; you can save money on a store bought gift and if you are interested in some extra income, you could sell some of your unique, one-of-a-kind wood crafts.
If you are interested in carving, scroll saw patterns, turning and other techniques, there's a multitude of information and the tools to do the job at the Show.
Insightful Demos and Hands-On Guidance
At the Main Stage/D.I.Y. Centre, you can ask questions and pick up ideas for future home improvement projects. Then head for the Dream Workshop to learn some new techniques and have your workshop dilemmas solved by the knowledgeable editors from Canadian Home Workshop magazine.
Try Out The Latest Tools
Under one roof, you will discover booths with professional woodworkers who are delighted to share their tips on how to do-it-yourself. If you have ever wondered if you can build something on your own, you'll be delighted to discover the popular Interactive Workshops where you can try out the latest in power tools and make a "take home project" under professional supervision.
Learn from the Experts
Experts in the field of woodworking like Jim Caruk and Mag Ruffman will be on the Main Stage sharing their expertise on home renos and offering inspirational solutions. Mag's enthusiasm and down-to-earth approach to woodworking is contagious and by the end of her session you will be comfortable with the idea of being a hands-on person.
It's All About Confidence
