Community woodworking initiative goes from strength to strength

  • Appreciate this workshop. However, I am disappointed over the misleading description that "everyone can bring home an onion RACK". Only materials for THREE racks were prepared, but the organizer accepted SEVEN participants. My teenager and her friends are not total newbie to woodworking, and everyone was looking forward to learning to make a RACK. The workshop was free, but we value our time. I have friend who travelled from far for this workshop. We hope that in the future, the organizer can put up description that is more truthful.

  • Grateful for the free workshop but it is rather misleading. It says everyone can bring back their own diy RACK but in fact, organiser only prepared wood for 3 racks, for 7 participants. So, we are all in 'awe' as to how and who is going to bring back the final project. Secondly, we waited for about an hour plus before it starts. The total time needed is only about 45 mins or so including sanding and sharing tools. Conclusion, we are all quite disappointed with not able to make and bring back the whole rack as what was advertised in the poster. Nonetheless, the crew was quite helpful and friendly. Appreciate if the organiser will be punctual and more clearer and honest in their poster description on the project in the future FOC workshop. Honesty is the best policy, even though its a FOC workshop, cos we're looking for an experience.
