Sit On It Detroit

Sit On It is an effort to build benches from reclaimed wood that are incorporated with free lending libraries attached.

Our SOID Workshops received help from @Carhartt tool lending library program. The Carhartt Workshop let's you rent hand tools, power tools, landscaping and garden tools free of charge! Just bring them back when you're done so other built-by-hand projects can get done!

Thanks @media_outlier for the write up and recognition of the work @SitOnItDetroit doing to enhance the experience of public transportation in Detroit.

As wait times grow, DDOT leaves it to others to build bus shelters https://t.co/cJquI0Bd8Z via @media_outlier

We practiced prototyping plant stands this weekend in the workshop. This was a fun DIY, which takes some patience and skill but highly doable for beginners.
"Plant stands serve as pieces of furniture or artwork in homes, giving a tasteful touch to the energy of a room."

Introducing asymmetrical elements to @SitOnItDetroit lending libraries that brings strength and balance to it's design. Interacting in a way that makes each side equally important and structurally sound.
