Craft a Side Table (Woodworking/Furniture Making)

I really enjoyed my time at the craftsmen studio. The instructor Will did such a great job in making me feel comfortable while making a side table. Will did a great job in showing me the safety features of the equipment that was used to make the side table. Will has gained my respect because he is such a great teacher. He was very conversational & knowledgeable about wood working. Fantastic teacher & class

I absolutely loved my experience at Craftsman studio! I build a copper lamp with the patient support of my teacher. She was amazing in how she guided me through each step of cutting the copper pipes, soldering the copper pipes, pushing the wires through the copper pipes, gluing the pipes together. Finally my teacher fastened the plug to the end of the wires then turned the light on so I could see the final result. Excellent outgoing teacher. I Would definitely go again!

I enjoyed the stain glass work of art class. The amount of people in the class made me feel welcome. There were four other people in the class. So I received good one on one help. The teacher was kind & patient with me. Working with my hands to bring a work of art to life was great. I would take this class again. The studio was neat, clean, & arranged well. Job well done Craftsman.

Great class to learn basics on how to use tools and learn about woodworking. The instructor explained things really well and made the class a lot of fun! The table was smaller than I expected but then it took us the full 4 hours to make it. Pizza and wine were good too :) Really fun date and a chance to make something with your partner!

Attended: Build a Custom Copper Lamp (Intro to Copper Creations)


I loved the lamp I made at the end and am super excited to make myself some more now I know how. The reason for 3 stars were twofold. First, although the lamp was great, I'm not sure it was quite worth the price paid for the workshop. Second and probably more important though was the lack of attentiveness, most of the group had long finished parts and were largely waiting around for the teachers (who were lovely, just a bit distracted) Maybe a bit more structure in the workshop would help. The workshop had great vibes though and everyone was lovely. And honestly love my new lamp!
