A community woodshop shaped by its members

Help build the woodworking makerspace DFW actually needs.

I’m looking for the first 100 woodworkers, future woodworkers, and serious DIYers to help validate a fully equipped, fairly priced makerspace—before a lease is signed or memberships are sold.

The idea

More access. Better instruction. Honest pricing.

This is not another luxury furniture showroom or a $3,000 class that still requires thousands more in materials. The goal is a serious community shop where people can learn, build, and buy materials at prices that make sense.

A real working shop

Professional-grade saws, planers, sanders, assembly space, dust collection, and the room to build projects safely.

Fair access to materials

Hardwood, slabs, epoxy, and supplies offered with transparent, reasonable pricing—not inflated because you need them for a class.

Skills without gatekeeping

Practical instruction for beginners, serious hobbyists, and experienced makers—from first cuts to heirloom-scale builds.

Why I’m testing this

Built from a woodworker’s point of view.

I’ve built large live-edge and epoxy tables, bar tops, commercial installations, and custom furniture. I also have access to serious hardwood sourcing and milling relationships. I know what good equipment, materials, and instruction cost—and where the current model can be better.
