This was the Makers first Mega Craft Challenge and they were tasked with creating their very own Backyard Oasis.
The winning space was created by Jack who created A Space Odyssey-inspired outdoor movie theatre, paying homage to his love of movies. Complete with curved bench seating, LED lighting, upholstered columns and a retractable projector screen, Jack’s idea won over the judges, who awarded him the first Mega Craft challenge winner and his second patch.
This was the final weekday episode of the show after being bumped to weekend episodes from next week due to low ratings. Read more here.
