I guide you through using hand tools and power equipment to turn a simple piece of timber into a functional object, ensuring you walk away with a toy you built yourself, not just a memory. It is rarely just about the finished toy. It is about how you get there. In these workshops, I focus on building your confidence with tools that might seem intimidating at first. We start simple—using a chisel to shape a dog or a plane to smooth pine—and we move into experimental techniques like kerf-bending, where we cut slits into plywood to allow it to curve into unique forms like boat planters. You might be surprised at how meditative the process becomes once you start. Using a Japanese pull saw or a V-groove carving tool changes how you look at a piece of wood. You are not just following a plan; you are learning why grain behaves the way it does and how to work with it rather than fighting against it. Whether you are a parent looking for a collaborative weekend activity with your child, or an individual wanting to learn a new craft, I keep the atmosphere low-pressure. You do not need any prior experience, just a bit of curiosity. We provide all the safety gear, wood, and guidance. By the end of the day, you will leave with your own project in hand. For those who want to push further into complex joinery, we also explore detailed art forms like Kumiko, but in these sessions, the focus stays on accessible, playful construction that anyone can master. ## About Kydo I run these workshops because I believe everyone has a maker inside them. You do not need a background in engineering to pick up a chisel and turn a block of scrap wood into something that actually brings a smile. I am here to help you get the sawdust on your hands and find your flow state.
