### My story

People ask me what Kydo means. Simple - 'Kai' (ಕೈ) is Kannada for hand, and 'Do' is just doing. That’s what we do, build with our own hands. There’s something wild about swapping screens for sawdust. I’ve seen teens, engineers, designers all hit that flow state in the workshop. You come in with ideas, leave with a shelf or a Japanese lamp you made. It’s the making, not just the thing itself, that’s magic.

### My work

- **Woodworking workshops in Bangalore & Pune**: We run hands-on woodcraft sessions for all skill levels. You build something real, not just watch.
- **Weekend classes - from basics to Japanese Kumiko**: Trade your keyboard for a saw. Learn hand tools, power tools, and try Japanese Kumiko art.
- **For beginners, designers, and anyone curious**: Doesn’t matter if you’ve never held a chisel or want a portfolio piece. All are welcome.
- **Mixing old-school craft with new tech**: We use classic woodworking and 3D printing. Sometimes it’s a shelf, sometimes a fixed car part.
