Girl’s Garage

Girls Garage is a nonprofit design and building program and dedicated workspace for girls ages 9-18. Through classes in carpentry, welding, architecture, and activist art, we support and equip a community of fearless girls who are building the world they want to see. Established 2013.

The playlist linked above, ‘’Tool School’’ is a distance-learning version of a popular Girl’s Garage training program.

• Girl’s Garage Tool School Videos:
  • Episode 1: Lumber — Find out about the dimensions of lumber, how it comes out of the tree and gets processed, and factors for choosing the correct wood for your project.⁣
  • Episode 2: Drawings + Cut Lists — By making a plan, section, and elevation drawing and a cut list (like a recipe, but for building!), you’ll have all the visual information you need to make precise cuts and put your project together.

    Episode 3

    Measure + Mark: Learn how to use a tape measure, a special builder’s mark called a “caret”, and a speed square (which is actually shaped like a triangle??!) to measure and mark your wood.

    Episode 4

    Chop Saw: Watch Emily demonstrate the proper, safe technique for using a chop saw (for adults only!), and explain what “kerf” means.

    Episode 5

    Coping Saw: Coping saws are traditionally used for “coping joints,” making curved profiles in crown molding so that corners fit together perfectly, but they are also a fantastic hand saw for small projects.

    Episode 6

    Jigsaw: Grab a fresh pack of T-shank blades and charge your batteries! In this episode, Emily shows the parts and features of a jigsaw and how to use it to cut out irregular shapes.

    Episode 7

    Sanding, Nails, and Screws: Find out the fascinating history of nail sizing (does a 16-penny nail cost 16 cents?!), along with how to choose screws, and how to sand with the right grit.

    Episode 8

    Drill + Impact Driver:Use a drill and its “sister tool,” the impact driver, to make a pilot hole, and then install a screw. Find out why a drill is more likely to strip your screw head and how to insert and remove bits.

    Episode 9

    Voila! And A Pop Quiz!:A few hinges, a hasp and lock, and ta-da!! Our box project is done! Take a 6-question pop quiz to test your knowledge of what we’ve learned together in our first season of Tool School.
