What You’ll Learn

Have an idea for a small project? Come to our Design/Build Studio and fabricate a small project. You must take our Design Build * Workshop 101 Class  to dicuss your project and get an introductory and safety class in our woodshop. Come with ideas! Learn to find refurbished and recycled woods, fix broken pieces of furniture. We are design/build and we like to make things! Suggested projects are anything from a coffee table, your own speaker, small planter box, solar powered fans, LED light or anything you can imagine! 

Through a series of three hands on workshops we will

  • Guide you in fabricating your idea.
  • You will have access to our full woodshop and set-up space
  • We will walk you through the most effective and creative way to fabricate your project.
  • Under our supervision you will utilize various hand tools, joining methods, and materials to build your project.

We are *HB* Collaborative

During our prerequisite Design Build * Workshop class we will coordinate with you regarding the design and materials neccessary to fabricate your project. All materials must be provided by the student but we will help you find the most creative ways to reuse old materials, find refurbished woods and get the most bang for your buck.

Tools and space provided. Students must bring or purchase materials for small project but we can help then coordinate and plan all of that. Materials may vary depending on student and we can encourage using refurbished or reclaimed materials to keep cost down! We also have various scrap woods in our shop people can use. part of the Workshop 101 intro is explaining how to find good inexpensive and reused materials.

Intermediate Level

Must participate in our Design-Build Workshop 101 class. Basic knowledge and experience with hand-tools is encouraged (hand drills, screw drivers, measuring tape, sandpaper, etc).
