Woodshop

Woodshop.

Cache Makers has a 464 square foot wood shop. It is small, but we have some big plans to complete the shop. This space will be used by our volunteers and youth. To access this space a training will be required for adults and youth must be attending a wood shop class (coming soon with your support!).
