Cool people, cool place, awesome setup. If you re new to woodworking, the classes are an excellent way to drop in, get a feel for the place, learn some things, and take home something beautiful that you made yourself (with all the help you needed to make that happen).
The best wood working cooperative by far in Raleigh!
Learning to use the equipment. It's a learning experience.
I participated in a class to build a cutting board. Matt led the class and did a great job explaining what each tool did and how the whole process worked. It was a fantastic experience to be able to create something and both Matt and Chris were helpful along the way. I would highly recommend this class.
The team at The Makers Space are truly masters at their work. Whether you re brand new to woodworking or a have a experience under your belt. This crew can help!
I went to the cutting board class a few weeks ago (with zero experience...) and it was an amazing time! The Maker's Space is owned by a father and son who ran the class, and they were both extremely helpful, kind and knowledgable. I would highly recommend taking a class here! I will definitely be returning :)
Had a wonderful time learning how wood is milled. This place has a wholesome, folksy vibe that I really enjoyed. Probably the coolest part though was that the guy who lead my class was like your classic old school carpenter with a nice encouraging dad vibe but then the owner stepped in and started helping and he brought a very different more technical less intuitive set of information. The combo was really perfect. This place has seemingly everything. Maybe a bit on the pricey side but they are moving toward non profit so I cant event hate.
Pathetic - as a master Carpenter he couldn't even router a piece of wood - nice guy though
As a complete woodworking novice, Maker's Space was the perfect way for me to learn about what I was interested in without any pressure or distractions. Matt was really easy to work with to get sessions set up and Chris was a patient, knowledgeable and masterful Craftsman/instructor. Maker's Space provides me the ideal solution for pursuing my woodworking ambitions.
Amazing and kind people, really rad atmosphere. You also walk out with something you handcrafted and can be proud of.
Great place to create something. Take a class or become a member and do your own thing.
Great experience, staff have tons of knowledge and I can highly recommend them!
I needed a huge cutting board flattened out and they were able to help me out. I highly recommend you check this place out! It s awesome to be able to have a place like this in the community!!
