About us

Not every school has a woodshop. Not every student has held a saw, measured a board, or felt the pride of building something with their own hands. We’re here to change that.

Our program brings a dedicated woodwork teacher directly into schools, transforming ordinary classrooms into creative workshops. With tools, materials, and a thoughtfully designed curriculum,  we make hands-on learning accessible — no permanent shop required.

Through guided, age-appropriate projects, students move from ideas to sketches to finished pieces they can hold and say, “I made this.” Along the way, they learn more than woodworking. They learn patience, precision and problem-solving skills. 

In a world that often lives on screens, we give students the chance to slow down, think deeply, and build something real. Because when students build with their hands, they also build confidence.


Because Every Student Should Build Something Real.

We aim to offer 25% of our services free of charge. If your institution is a New York City Tier 1 Eligible Public School you automatically qualify. If your institution does not have the budget, please reach out to discuss.
