Woodworking is a hobby that has historically required a connection to someone who really knows their way around a workshop. Are you unable to casually dabble in woodworking because you need tools and space, but you don’t want to commit to a woodworking apprenticeship? We are here to be your woodworking plug. This workshop will get you started with the skills needed to design and build the furniture of your dreams. You’ll begin this workshop with a few pieces of oak. You’ll then cut and shape the oak into the individual parts of your table, using a mitre saw, a router table, a table saw, and a belt sander. Never used any of those? Don’t worry! Each workshop has a “guide” who is there to guide you (obvi)! After tool time, you will make sure everything fits together precisely before assembling your masterpiece.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for taking the Craft an Oak Side Table workshop?

A: There's no strict age limit, but generally, it's recommended for ages 16 and up due to the use of power tools. Younger teens can attend if accompanied by an adult. Just make sure everyone feels comfortable using the equipment!

Q: What should I wear for the woodworking workshop? Is it messy?

A: Definitely wear clothes you don't mind getting a bit dirty. Closed-toe shoes are a must, and long pants are recommended just in case. You might want to bring a bandana or a cap to keep wood dust out of your hair!

Q: What’s the parking situation like near Craftsman Ave? Is it hard to find a spot?

A: There's street parking available but it can get pretty tight on weekends. I'd recommend arriving a bit early to find a spot. There are also some nearby garages if you want to play it safe.

Thinking about gifting the Craft an Oak Side Table experience!

Hey everyone! I'm considering getting this woodworking workshop for my partner’s birthday. They’ve always wanted to try their hand at making furniture but never had the space or tools. Have any of you done this workshop? What was your experience like? I’m curious about how beginner-friendly it really is. Thanks!

Just finished the Craft an Oak Side Table workshop!

OMG, I just came back from the Craft an Oak Side Table workshop at Craftsman Ave in Brooklyn and it was AMAZING! I’ve never worked with power tools before, and I made this gorgeous little table. Seriously, the instructors were so patient, and I learned so much in just a few hours. It’s a perfect gift idea for anyone who likes DIY or wants to try something new! Highly recommend it!
