Woodworking studio

Step into our woodshop, a place where raw lumber is transformed into beautiful, functional objects. This space is equipped with a wide range of tools for every stage of your project, from rough cutting to final finishing.

The woodshop is designed for both beginners and experienced craftspeople. It's a place to learn new skills, tackle ambitious projects, or simply enjoy the satisfying process of working with wood. Our staff is always available to help with machine operation, safety protocols, and project guidance.

Examples of Equipment Available

Disc/Belt Sander

A 2-in-1 stationary power tool designed for shaping, smoothing, and "truing up" workpieces. It combines a long, continuous loop of sandpaper (the belt) with a rotating circular sheet (the disc) to handle both broad surface work and precision edge work.

Industrial Cabinet Table Saw

The heavy-duty centerpiece of a professional woodworking shop. Named for its fully enclosed, steel cabinet base, it is built for maximum stability, precision, and the power to run all day long. Unlike lighter portable saws, it features a massive cast-iron table and a powerful motor designed to cut through the densest hardwoods with ease.

Portable & Stationary Wood Lathes

Unique woodworking machines that operate on a principle called "turning." Unlike most power tools where the blade moves to cut a stationary piece of wood, a lathe spins the wood at high speeds while you hold a stationary cutting tool against it. It is often described as the "potter’s wheel of woodworking," used to create objects that are perfectly symmetrical around a center axis.

Wood Planer

A machine designed to take boards of varying thicknesses and "mill" them down to an exact, uniform dimension. While a table saw cuts wood to width and a miter saw cuts it to length, the planer controls the thickness, ensuring that both faces of a board are perfectly parallel to each other.

CNC Router

a computer-controlled cutting machine that functions like a high-tech combination of a jigsaw, a drill, and a wood-carver. It follows digital designs to cut, carve, and engrave materials with extreme precision and repeatability.
