Frequently asked questions
What the space is and isn't
The Tool House is intended to be an accessible, shared community working space for woodworking, electronics and 3D printing.
We are:
- Suitable for DIY enthusiasts and hobbyists
- Suitable for people who don't have the space and or tools to do the work they want
- People looking to get started with DIY or electronics
We are not:
- A tool lending service
- A repair or training service
- A professional workshop or replacement for commercial working spaces
Our volunteers and staff may be able to give you advice but this is not a service that we offer. Take a look at what's on to learn about 3D printing, electronics and woodworking in one of our classes.
Do I get training?
Every class includes guidance from the person running it, and you will be given a safety induction on how to use the tools you need safely. Subscribe to our mailing list to hear about new classes as they launch.
Can I borrow tools from The Tool House?
No. We do not currently offer a lending service. We recommend the Walthamstow Tool Library or the Library of Things if you need to borrow tools.
