KitaBina is a community-powered DIY and woodworking makerspace in KL that wants to furnish individuals with DIY skills by helping them realise their woodworking potential. We speak with KitaBina co-founder Jon to find out more about the space, how they're tackling the prevailing stigmas that DIY skills might still carry, and how they're getting people bitten by the woodcraft bug through Pesta Bina - their woodworking festival that promises to equip you with the basics in just one hour.
