Skill required: 1

Your teacher will be:
Lee Bennett

Teachers qualifications:
After leaving the British Navy, Lee Bennett created special effects with Weta Workshop, single handedly subdivided his property, renovated a boat, became a commercial pilot, built a plane in his conservatory, and built WW1 vehicles and planes (in a proper factory this time).

Lee Bennett is one of the founders of Wellington MakerSpace, the first floor space at 6 Vivian St they’ve outfitted provides a workshop on steroids. It is specifically provided for those looking to make one-offs, prototypes and sellable items from plastic, metal and wood – but who don’t have either their own facility nor the scope or scale to necessarily approach larger scale engineers or fabricators.

Cost: $40 includes materials to make your own bow + arrow hire to test it out afterwards!

How to pay: Visit Paypal here (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=T2VRJZ4V4NAYU).

Scavenged koha:
As Bunnings will be unavailable (and empty?) in a Zombie apocalypse, you are requested to bring a scavenged item / found object along as a koha to the Makerspace Zombie Closet Collection as part of this chalkle.

Some of the items you bring may be used as materials to create the objects made in these lessons. Examples of suitable scavenged items might include an old tool, a coil of old wire, etc. Surprise us!
