Q: Are these the only times available?
No - these are our public weekly times as a starting point. If you need a different day or time, just contact us. We’re flexible and only require a minimum of 2 students to open a class.
Q: What age range is this suitable for?
Generally suitable for ages 8+, as this is typically the age where kids can focus for longer periods, follow instructions safely, and have the coordination and strength needed for woodworking tools. That said, every child is different, and we’ve had younger children join successfully too. If you’re unsure, feel free to message or call us, and we can chat about whether it’s the right fit for your child.
Q: Can siblings or parents stay?
Yes! Homeschool routines vary, so siblings and parents are welcome to stay or relax nearby. We’re located behind The Builders Club, which offers food, and there are plenty of nearby places and activities around Dee Why if you prefer to step out.
Q: What will the kids learn?
Each session covers practical woodworking skills in a safe, guided environment - tool use, safety, measuring, hand‑skills, and completing simple projects.
Q: Do you run term packages or casual sessions?
Both. You can join casually or book multiple weeks. We also offer drop‑in Sunday sessions (4 hours) - please see our other listing for details.
Q: What if we want to bring a group?
Perfect! If you have a homeschool pod or a group of friends, we can open a private session for you (minimum 2 kids).
Q: What if we’ve never done woodworking before?
No problem at all - beginners are absolutely welcome. Everything is taught step‑by‑step, with age‑appropriate tools and guidance.
Q: Is this suitable for neurodivergent kids?
Yes. We aim to create a calm, supportive, and predictable environment. If your child has particular needs, feel free to message us. We’re happy to make adjustments where we can.
Q: What do we need to bring?
Closed shoes and a water bottle. We provide everything else - tools, materials, and safety gear.

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.
