Do you have a picture in your head of the perfect piece of furniture for your home, the one that will pull everything together and fit into that awkward little space in the corner? Come and learn how to build it yourself at this beginner-friendly woodworking class in New York!

This workshop will get you started with the skills needed to design and build your own furniture as you create a stunning side table constructed using oak and classic half-lap joints.

You’ll begin by cutting and shaping oak pieces into the individual parts of your table using various power and hand tools. You’ll get hands-on experience using a mitre saw, a router table, a table saw, and a belt sander as you apply some good old elbow grease to ensure everything fits together precisely before assembling your masterpiece!

Don't worry if you've never tried tackling your own wood projects before, as this workshop is suitable for complete beginners. With a little woodworking know-how, guidance from your teacher, and the right tools, you can create anything!

  • All of the equipment and materials for the workshop.

It’s our business to bring people together to make things and use tools that most New Yorker’s couldn’t and wouldn’t use in their homes. This is really difficult to do via Zoom. Gathering people in our post-COVID world requires that we take our guests’ safety even more seriously by implementing every possible precaution. To ensure your safety while at a at Craftsman Ave workshop, we’ve implemented the following precautions:

Small Class Sizes – We’ve always specialized in offering hands-on workshops for small groups of people. In the past, we limited our workshops to 8 guests. For the foreseeable future, we’ll be further limiting our workshops to 4-5 people max so everyone can be safely distanced from each other.

Last-Minute Rescheduling – If a guest doesn’t feel well on the day of their workshop, they can reschedule to a later date at no cost.

Studio Cleaning – With all the wood and metal dust kicked-up in our workshops, there are some areas of our studio that will always appear a little short of “clean”. However, you can be sure that we disinfect all tools and surfaces regularly and especially before each workshop begins.

Mask-Up! – Everyone – guests and instructors – must wear a mask, at least upon entering our studio. BYOM or we’ll be happy to provide you with one. After you arrive, we'll talk about everyone's vaccination status. Masks will only be removed if everyone present is vaccinated AND comfortable with proceeding without masks - otherwise we'll remain masked throughout the workshop. We will also have plenty of gloves available.

Hand Washing/Sanitizing – You’ll find plenty of hand sanitizer dispensers throughout our space and everyone will be asked to clean their hands before each workshop.

Upgraded Ventilation – We’ve upgraded the air handling systems in our studio, effectively doubling the airflow through our space. If any icky things make it into the studio air, they’ll be quickly whisked out by our exhaust system.

Went in to the class with no wood working experience; left the class feeling like I could use various tools to make something. If you are looking to work with your hands/create something/just get away from a screen, would recommend this workshop (or others at Craftsman Ave). The teacher was great---supportive and there to help but also gave space for us to do work on our own.
