What you'll do
Join us for an open woodworking shop night in San Francisco for a relaxed and welcoming session designed for makers who want time, space, and community to work on their projects. This experience begins with a quick, optional show-and-tell where everyone shares what they’re working on and where they might be feeling stuck or procrastinating. After that, the shop is yours. Work at your own pace, enjoy the creative energy of fellow makers, ask questions, and make meaningful progress on your project in a shared, supportive environment.Not sure what to make? We’re happy to help you choose a project that fits your skill level and available time. Popular ideas include boxes, shelves, small home improvements, custom cutting boards, and handmade gifts. This open shop experience is perfect for woodworkers looking for the right environment to work on something with the company of other woodworkers.New to Wood Thumb? No problem! For newcomers to our woodshop, we require an introductory safety overview. This costs $20 and starts at 6pm. If you have been to any of our workshops, or done shop time with us in the past, you may skip this.

- 5/5 from Krystal Bell, attended Apr 2026: Great experience for those who might be a little bit more experienced than a beginner. However, definitely great for anyone if it’s a smaller group because ample attention is given to each person. It was an amazing experience. I chose a project I felt could be done in the allotted time and that felt really good to have something fully completed, other than oiling and detailing, by the time I left. The space is incredible, inspiring, and Cris was a wonderful instructor!

Wood Thumb is the vision of two brothers, Christopher and David Steinrueck. They set out to build a creative community that embodies craftsmanship and sustainability. It’s really a company of ongoing experiments.From selling products to teaching workshops, we’ve achieved what we believe is the perfect blend of entrepreneurial makers and designers. Add a kick of cowboy innovation and you’ll understand who we are.Our CommunityWe started out in 2011 making small batches of wood products and selling them to stores around the country. The products were successful, but after a while, we felt as though there was something missing. We thought long and hard about the purpose of Wood Thumb and realized our goal was to get as many people passionate about woodworking as possible. Begin the workshop era.Wood Thumb believes that anyone and everyone should experience the satisfaction of woodworking. We’ve turned our focus to creating a community centered around craftsmanship and creativity. We’d love to have you come to a workshop or stop by sometime to say hey.
