Have you ever dreamed of building your own furniture?
Want to gain practical carpentry skills and the confidence to use real woodworking tools?

This is your opportunity to learn by doing — and walk away with both a completed project and the knowledge to keep creating.

At CraftedWoodUK, we offer a premium one-day workshop where you’ll build a solid wood bench that also doubles as a small side coffee table. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a DIY enthusiast, this hands-on experience is designed to be approachable, rewarding, and packed with practical learning.

This isn’t just a one-off project — it’s a step into the world of woodworking. You’ll be introduced to a wide range of tools and techniques that will prepare you to confidently tackle your own DIY builds and creative projects at home.
