Each kid assembles and finishes their project, sanding and applying a protective finish to create something durable and ready to use.


Step 5 – Finished Project and Pride

Step 5 – Finished Project and Pride

Everyone leaves with a high-quality wooden item they made themselves — practical, unique, and built to last.


Over six hands-on hours, kids take raw timber and turn it into something functional they made entirely themselves - no kits, no pre-cuts, no shortcuts.
They'll measure, cut, shape, and assemble using real tools, developing spatial reasoning, practical problem-solving, and the kind of quiet confidence that comes from figuring things out.
Kids will leave with more than an object but they'll also leave with a new skill!

Sindre is a Norwegian maker, tinkerer, and parent, with a background in engineering and community programs. After stepping away from corporate life, he chose to focus on what mattered most to him: working with his hands, sharing his passion for woodworking, and helping children experience the satisfaction of creating something real.
Sindre believes woodworking is more than making objects. It’s about slowing down, problem-solving, and building confidence through doing. As a parent, he understands that children learn best when they’re given time, guidance, and space to explore.
Sessions follow Scandinavian principles of simplicity and functionality. Children work independently but with guidance, developing patience, attention to detail, and practical skills in a small, supportive group.
Sindre holds a current Working With Children Check, ensuring every session is safe, welcoming, and thoughtfully run.
