Hi @Vanditto,
Welcome to Workshop. Great to see you have already received a couple of helpful replies. As you can see, our members are extremely helpful and generous when it comes to sharing their knowledge and experience.
Can you please be a little more specific about what tools you'd like to learn about? We are more than happy to provide links to helpful videos if you could please let us know what projects you'd like to tackle and what tools you need to use.
Thanks for joining in the discussion. We look forward to seeing your skills develop and you receiving plenty of encouragement and advice from the Workshop community along the way.

Heya @Ozwelder, many thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. It sounds like you have a lot to offer our members. We trust you'll also get plenty of helpful information, advice and inspiration for your projects in return from our clever and creative community.
Please don't hesitate to post anytime you have something to share or need a hand.
Welcome,
Jason
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Kath1. We're so pleased to have you join us and are really passionate about wanting to help you build your D.I.Y. skills and confidence so you can improve your home. You'll note that we have many wonderful and inspiring members in the community sharing inspiring projects, including @Tara86, @2Belindas, @She_Skills and @prettyliving. Check out their stories in our About Us section as many are self-taught and were a similar situation to you not long ago.
Apologies that we are not currently able to run D.I.Y. workshops within Bunnings stores. We certainly look forward to providing this service again as soon as possible. In the meantime, you might like to start by taking a look through our How To section as we have many easy-to-follow step-by-step articles labelled with their level of difficulty. Tackling a small project can really help build skills and confidence. The guides Essential hand tools for beginners and Essential power tools for beginners and beyond might also be a great starting point for what tools you might need. Of course there's also the Bunnings D.I.Y. Advice section with many step-by-step guides and videos on how to complete an incredibly wide variety of jobs around your house and garden.
We understand that it can feel overwhelming not knowing how or where to start. So we would encourage you to think about what room in your house most needs attention and what project in that room might be best to start with. Then you can share some photos and some detail about what you'd like to achieve, and our members will be more than happy to provide specific advice. Incredibly helpful members like @redracer01 and our very own @MitchellMc might even be able to create 3D rendered diagrams for you so you can better visualise what the end result might be.
We're looking forward to seeing what you can achieve with some help from the Workshop community.

It's great to hear how keen you are to complete some D.I.Y. projects @Kath1!
As @Jason has mentioned, we'd be more than happy to walk you through the process of completing your first project. Are there any areas that need fixing or improving around your home?
I believe there are various Women's sheds popping up all around the place, so it might be worth checking those out. I know the Men's sheds in my area are very open to having women join and are certainly not as exclusive as they once were. It might also be worth enquiring with a TAFE near you if there were any evening courses available. Our team in-store are always happy to show you the safety equipment needed when using our tools.
I look forward to hearing more about what projects you would like to complete and assisting you on your D.I.Y. adventure.
Mitchell
