1-on-1 instruction

Have you ever needed a woodworking “coach”?    Is there something you want to learn, but it doesn’t specifically match one of our classes?     

Perhaps there is a skill you are looking to improve or a tool you want to learn to use safely.     Do you want help with a specific project?     

Looking for more focused/personalized instruction from what our classes offer?

Let us set you up with one of our instructors to receive 1-on-1 instruction in our state-of-the-art shop!  

Tell us what you want to learn and we will connect you with someone who can help you improve your skills or help you complete a specific project along side one of our instructors.

Cost:
$90/hour

(or $125/hour for two people working on the same project)

How it works:
After filling out the questionnaire below, we will schedule a time for you to meet with the instructor to discuss the specifics of the project and set a timeline.  You are required to pay a non-refundable fee of $90 (pay here) which will go towards your first hour of your lesson to secure a spot on the calendar.  Then, the fun begins!  Classes with your new instructor will be conducted in our woodshop.  Limited storage is available to house your project.

Below is a list of instructors who offer 1-on-1 lessons, and a list of their particular specialties. When filling out the questionnaire below please list the instructor whose expertise corresponds with your private lesson request.  Please understand that we limit our 1-on-1 lessons to the specialties of our instructors.

(In the event that you do not see an instructor listed with the specialty or focus of your choice, consider having our in-house fabrication shop build your project for you.  Unfortunately they won’t teach you, but if your goal is a finished custom project, they can build the project of your dreams. Their job intake form can be found here, and they offer free estimates and project timelines.)
