    Workshop

    My son started here when he was 13, and Dennis took him under his wing immediately. Focus is on safety and technique, but Dennis gave him responsibility and independence to make great projects himself. I recommend this for anyone looking to learn a hobby that can also be a lucrative trade in the future.

    Still need to stain, but was super happy about the way it turned out!

    I took the beginner's class and it was a fun experience! I came in with absolutely zero knowledge but Dennis showed me how to use all sorts of different tools/machines safely. This is not a strict and structured class, so you have some freedom in how you want to make something (for the end table project, i made a coffee table instead as it would be more useful for me). Dennis goes around and gives each student advice and helps guide you to make your vision for a project a reality. He's also pretty funny and always has a stash of snacks/drinks to offer. You'll also be sure to meet a lot of awesome people here, and it was cool to see all the different sorts of projects everyone was working on each week. I'd definitely recommended for anyone looking for a new hobby to check this place out!

    Dennis is an awesome instructor. He's been doing woodwork his whole life and his experience shows. I was nervous about being a beginner to woodwork and the safety aspect but he truly is the best at teaching the correct technique. I also enjoyed meeting with others in the workshop. It's nice to see what other people are working on. They are also very helpful and will offer a hand if you need it. If you're looking to give woodwork a try, I recommend Dennis! There are other levels to take as well if you've done this before.

    Dennis customized a class for our girl scout troop so they could meet requirements of Cadette Woodworking Badge. He went above & beyond, showing them around his workshop and all of his extensive tools, both manual & power. He did the basic stuff required, but also taught them proper safety for each tool and the bigger equipment. He was an excellent teacher! Our girls felt confident and empowered by the end. Thank you Dennis for your time and attention!

    I would give 6 stars if I could. Jasmine and Dennis are amazing teachers and artists. The service and individualized attention were like no other. They didn't make us feel rushed at all, and even gave us extra time. A very warm and friendly environment, you could tell that they are passionate about what they do and excited to share their craft with the community. You just don't find that in people these days! My best friend surprised me with this class for my birthday, and it was our first time wood turning. Jasmine made an otherwise intimidating task easy, approachable and fun while giving us creative freedom to make whatever design we wanted. She was attentive and so patient...pointing out tips and tricks as we went. I learned so much in just one class, and had a really awesome project to take home to boot!! This studio is far from home, but I'll be back again soon because you can't get a better experience than this.

    Dennis you have been amazing! I absolutely love your class and look forward to going every week. You are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to wood working. Learning through youtube videos or other self learning methods does not compare to actually going and learning from you. I have learned so much! Thank you for your indescribable patience and kindness in the process. You truly care for each of your students. I have seen how you work with each person at their level to help them learn and achieve their woodworking goals, especially with myself :). I am sooo happy I joined your class it was worth every penny! Thank you again Dennis!

    Our first project- cutting boards

    My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time taking woodshop classes with Dennis. Dennis is a great instructor. He's unbelievably knowledgeable and very patient with his students. You can be an experienced woodworker or have never touched a piece of lumber in your life, Dennis will teach you no matter what your skill level. There are a wide variety of tools, saws and other machines in the shop and you will become familiar with all/most of them. I just wish we had more time in our schedules to continue learning with more classes.

    I'm a woman in my 50's and took the 12 week beginner class, as well as half of an intermediate class (6 wks). Dennis is smart, kind, fair and knows his craft! He even gives you a key to the workshop at the intermediate level! I learned how to use a mitre saw, table saw, band saw, planer, jointer, hand tools, and so much more! Made a cutting board, mallet, box and a table with mortise and tenon joints. Dennis has a library of books too! Other students are kind, helpful and fun to be with! This class teaches safety, safety, safety! Learned a valuable skill set, built confidence and had fun! This class is totally worth it!

    Dennis and the shop helped me discover my passion for woodworking. I was looking for a new creative skill to balance my daytime job and a way to earn a side income. Dennis took me through the beginner - intermediate - advance class one project at a time. From learning how to operate all the tools in the shop, picking lumber, milling, how to do a glue up, explore different joineries, sanding and finishing. Such an amazing experience! He's very patient and helpful. I appreciate him very much. Can't believe it's been almost two years, I've finished the classes, launched a handcrafted furniture business, and still in love with woodworking, thanks to The Wood Work. Below are the products that I've handmade for my customers (checkout my business on Instagram / FB: @kayurevivalco)

    Wife bought me the beginner class as a Christmas present and I actually ended up extending to the year-long after! I love coming every week. Dennis is very good about teaching safety and is so generous with his tools and materials. I finally finished my entry table with the hidden drawer too!

The kids have quite the art supplies and were in need of a change of scenery! Greg was awesome and very welcoming! Both kids enjoyed their first time here, but this definitely won't be the last! Everyone was very welcoming. They do parties and private events. They sell art supplies as well as various artistic products throughout the store. Best part was the kids were able to bring in their supplies and use art space free of charge with no rush or pressure to buy anything or get in and get out, all because we had our own supplies! Thank u for the hospitality!

    We have been very happy clients of Kiddo for over seven years. My eldest and youngest take piano…read morelessons and my middle child does voice and guitar. Kiddo is an establishment which prides itself in building strong foundational music education. They don't just want to show kids how to use musical instruments. Their mission runs deeper than that. They foster a profound love and appreciation of music at the fundamental level. Because of Kiddo, my children have a proper musical education which informs many parts of their lives. The front desk staff of Kiddo is so kind and professional and Miss Ashley, the owner, has selected an impressive faculty of teachers and artists who are respectful of the children and excellent at communicating with them. My middle child was born with a natural singing ability but her teachers, Miss Rudie and Miss Vicky, have helped her develop and protect her voice, ensuring she can use and enjoy it well into her later years. She has performed in competitions and recently did an open mic event at another music school and it was clear that her excellent training set her apart from the children of that school. Kiddo takes the abilities of every child seriously and gives them an enduring musical foundation. My youngest and eldest take piano lessons with Miss Fanny who is a warm and exceptionally talented teacher who has brought out the best in my kids. They also have a weekend art program which two of my children are enrolled in. It is a class they look forward to every week and never want to miss. I'm grateful Kiddo, a highly professional and substantial music and art school, exists in our community. Money and time well spent.

    I really like working there .they offer a free trial lesson as well . Ask for Mr. Daleread more
