Featured Handcrafted Projects & Workshop Highlights

Look at these smiles. This is what a typical weekend at the workshop looks like. People from all walks of life, most with zero prior experience, holding something they built with their own hands. We made everything from clocks to small tables this day.

There is something incredibly satisfying about using a hand plane. This is where you can find your flow state, watching the wood shavings curl up as you shape a piece of timber. It's a core skill I teach in my beginner and advanced hand tool workshops.

Yes, you can even build a five-level cat tree for your furry overlord. This project was built over two days using turned Salwood pillars and Birch plywood. It’s a perfect example of how you can use the skills you learn here to create truly custom furniture.

The grand finale. Sreeja and Nivedita with the beautiful Kumiko lamps they built from scratch. They learned to make the frames, cut the intricate half-lap joints, and assemble the entire piece. The best part is seeing their faces when they switch it on for the first time.

Woodworking isn't just about static objects. This is a little mechanical toy, an automaton, I prototyped from scrap wood. It's a fantastic way to learn about simple mechanics like cams and levers, all while telling a fun story.

This is the zone. A quiet moment of focus in the workshop, where the only things that matter are the wood, the tool, and your hands. I provide the space and guidance for you to find this creative escape from the everyday hustle.

Vijeth got an introduction to using hand tools and built this sturdy little stool. It’s a fantastic first project that teaches the fundamentals of joinery and finishing, and you get to take home a piece of functional furniture.
