Excellent class. The teacher was great at explaining the steps and was very knowledgeable and attentive. I highly recommend this class to anyone trying to familiarize themselves with the basics of woodworking.

Great entry level workshop with a nice variety of tool instruction! I was admittedly looking for something bigger (the name was a little misleading to me) but the skills can be applied elsewhere. Friendly instructors and cool vibe!

I took the class with three others, so not a large class which made it easier to do the build in a relaxed fashion. Will, the instructor, was great at walking us through the build and providing information about the various tools, and also how additional safety guards had been installed to make it safer for those new at woodworking. We got to watch a bit of Japanese woodworking and share a beer as well!

Really cool hobby class. Great intro into woodworking basics. We learned how to do a stool and used a miter saw and a router in class, and put together a table using joinery (I think that's the proper term). Instructor was awesome - very personable and even stayed late when we needed more time. Close to the subway, really neat little space and it was a great way to spend a Friday night.

Had a great time! The instructor was enthusiastic, funny and helpful. The tables came out looking great, and i feel a world more knowledgeable and confident with the tools and techniques we covered during the class.
-
I loved the class! It was an amazing environment for learning. The instructor was guided you while providing the space necessary to learn a new skill. I walked away with a side table I'm super proud of!

The instructor David Sokoler was fantastic. He was funny and personable. He was also knowledgeable and made himself available to us as a resource for any questions we had about woodworking in general or our personal projects. The class was cute and served as a great introduction to power tools and was accessible even without prior experience.

Will, the instructor for my class was a great teacher. He was very informative, friendly and held an organized and fun class for beginners. He is very knowledgeable on tools, safety and wood finishes and shared a lot of information with us. Overall it was a fun experience and I highly recommend the class to anyone interested.

I really enjoyed my time at the craftsmen studio. The instructor Will did such a great job in making me feel comfortable while making a side table. Will did a great job in showing me the safety features of the equipment that was used to make the side table. Will has gained my respect because he is such a great teacher. He was very conversational & knowledgeable about wood working. Fantastic teacher & class

my friend and i took the class with chris jeffries and it was so much fun. it was very exciting to walk out with a table that we each made. i have wanted to try woodworking for a long time and it did not disappoint. can't wait to build something else.
-
This was such a fun and educational course. The instructor and other staff members were so nice too and made the entire experience wonderful.
-
The instructors, Michelle and Mossimo, were great—friendly, answered questions, and helpful.
Fun class although the table was so small. Could it have been a little bigger? Like 12 by 12? And I understand it’s a beginners course and I don’t know much about woodworking, but I was surprised that our table was held together by glue, not nails…. Are there multi week courses so we can learn more advanced information & make other items?
-
Such a great experience. The staff was incredible, friendly and helpful. Was very informative without being too hands-on. Would definitely recommend!
-
It was unbelievable, i love it, wish there was a part 2
-
It was a great class in a sense that it was quite easy. The studio had prepared the design of the stool we were building as well as the sequence of construction with every tool having a custom jig that allowed for perfect cuts and tight fits. It ended up just being three students including myself which meant we could ask many questions without holding up the class.
-
This class was delightful! The instructors were delightful, the other participants were delightful, and the project was delightful. I am certainly going to return in the future.

The make a side table class was amazing with two truly fun, patient instructors that'd help you with your table and any problems you came across. You get to sand its edges how you want, though you won't paint it after it's made. It was neat to see what people made and they offered beer after the class. It is a lot of work in those 4 hours: we used 3 different types of (automatic) saws so it gave you a good taste of what a multi-week woodworking class would be like. Great place and can't wait to go back for more classes.

This was an awesome class. It's amazing what I learned to do in four hours. Take 3 pieces of wood and transform them into a table, a very nice, sturdy, not wobbly table.
The instructor was very experienced and answered all questions and helped us out whenever need- all with a ton of patience, encouragement , and enthusiasm.
I look forward to taking another course at Craftman Avenue. The small class size was great the environment was comfy, had all the tools needed- measuring tools, clamps, etc.. it's a wonderful space, wonderful people. Well worth it in every respect
