Our Community of Makers: Real projects built by beginners
Step away from the screen and into the workshop. See what people from all walks of life build with us in just one weekend.
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.
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.
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.
A great weekend group holding their finished projects. We made everything from small stools and planter stands to boxes. It's amazing to see what you can create in just a couple of days.
This group of makers with their new creations, including a bird feeder, a small stool, and a couple of wooden boxes. Everyone starts as a beginner and leaves with a finished project.
It's always a joy to see a group of new woodworkers with their finished pieces. Here we have a couple of small stools and some fun, fish-shaped cutouts.
The proud builders, Poonam and myself, during the assembly of the cat tree. It's a complex project, but we guide you every step of the way.
More happy students with the planter stands they built. This is a popular beginner project that teaches you how to make strong and accurate half-lap joints.
The joy of making things with your own hands. This group is all smiles with their newly built projects, including toy airplanes and storage boxes.
A diverse set of projects from a weekend session, including a birdhouse, a wine rack, and various decorative frames. There's something for everyone in woodworking.
About Our Community of Makers
Most people walk into my workshop feeling nervous about handling power tools. By Sunday evening, they are using jigsaws and drills to build stools or planter stands, often laughing about how they spent the weekend covered in sawdust instead of staring at a screen. It is not about perfection; it is about that specific, quiet relief of making something real with your own hands.
Walk into the studio on a Saturday, and you will find an eclectic mix of people. Engineers, architects, curious beginners, and parents with their kids, all united by a single goal: to build something tangible.
We keep our batches small, usually between 6 and 10 people. This is not a factory-line setup. It is a shared space where we focus on learning safety and technique. You start with basic measurements and tool handling, and by the end of the weekend, you have finished projects like stools, planter stands, or even custom wooden toys.
There is no need for prior experience. Most of my students have never held a chisel before. We focus on the process of making. Whether you want to master power tools or try your hand at joinery, the goal is to get your hands dirty, trade the keyboard for a saw, and experience the satisfaction of creating something that exists in the physical world.
