Kids-Toy Making with Tots
ABOUT Toy Making for Tots:
Start with a one-time private session (2 hours)
In this hands-on class, we work together to build a simple wooden project—typically a toy car, treasure chest, or birdhouse. Each project is designed so we can complete it in a single session, and your child can take it home to paint or decorate.
Along the way, they’ll safely try out real woodworking tools, such as the chop saw, bandsaw, drill, nail gun, orbital sander, and more—all with close one-on-one guidance.
COST: All-inclusive: $245 for a 2-hour private session

Adults: One time intro session
POWER TOOLS: ONE ON ONE SESSIONS FOR ADULTS
WHY: From Lumber to Masterpiece!
WHAT: We offer custom one-on-one project classes, but those are usually more involved and require a bigger time commitment, so it helps to get some hands-on experience first.
A great place to start is our two-hour, one-time private intro session—a guided tour of the shop, the tools, and the fundamentals. Together, we’ll mill, cut, and assemble a small decorative box (usually from a thick piece of walnut) with a sliding lid for you to take home.
If you’d like a deeper dive (recommended), we also offer a 4-hour version split over two sessions for $450. In this expanded class, we add a decorative hinged lid and apply an oil finish, giving you more time with each tool and step.
Both sessions focus on the core tools of a woodshop: the table saw, miter saw, surface planer, orbital sander, and more.
