Recent reviews of Wooden Side Table Making Class

  • 5/5 from Mickie Preis, attended Feb 2026: Thank you for a great experience! This class was a gift for my birthday from my family. Scheduling was the easiest process with many available dates to choose from, the location is accessable by train and is fun to walk around after the class was done. The class itself was so cool! the power tools were explained so well and all concerns re: injury to my hands - were easily dissolved by the teachers reassurance. Background music was great at setting the atmosphere, and the result - my night stand/side table is beautiful. I highly recommend and will definitely come back for another class.
  • 5/5 from Chad Testa, attended Mar 2025: Great class and instructor. Instructions were very clear, safety was a big focus, and the table I built looks great. I plan on taking another class soon
  • 5/5 from Pushpa Bhat, attended Dec 2022: 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.
  • 5/5 from Winnifred Go, attended Jun 2022: This class was amazing with teacher Jeff and assistant Mass I enjoyed the class so much making a table taught me so many things about wood working and the tools / machines used in the process. Thank you jeff and Mass I’ll be back for more classes It was awesome
  • 5/5 from Edison Carrera, attended Jun 2022: Excellent and easy going class, perfect date or solo. You need to work with your hands and it feels great to do so!
