Woodcraft of Houston Southwest

"I'm currently taking a 2hday Beginner Lathe Turning class. It's the third class I've taken at Woodcraft. Every experience has been stellar. Every instructor has been knowledgeable and experienced. It's my go-to for any equipment or supplies I need as I learn about woodworking. The staff are friendly and always willing to answer questions or offer guidance. I cannot recommend Woodcraft highly enough. Everything I've learned so far has been from Woodcraft."

"I've visited twice so far and the folks here are always incredible. I've also dealt with them over the phone as I happen to live quite far away. Every time I call, the knowledge, experience, and service of everyone is amazing. They are all extremely willing to help to the point of even going well out of their way to assist with anything anyone needs. I would recommend this place 1000%."

"Excellent and dedicated staff. Everyone is interested in making you a better woodworker. I have taken classes from here and competitor. WC is better, hands down. I looking forward to my dovetail class at WC with George. I enjoyed my Handplane ccass and learned a lot form Mark. Keep up the great work."

"Every interaction was that of knowledge and courtesy. They are well versed in the craft and very kind. The store is stocked very well as well as extremely clean/organized. They have a wide variety of tools and exotic woods."

"So this class is offered Monday to Thursday 12:00-4:00, I think about once a month, usually at the beginning. The first day we made a small stool/bench and if you flip it upside down, it is a tool box (very versatile). The second day we made a cutting board from maple, cherry, and walnut. The third day we finished up the boards by using a CNC machine to engrave. (Like buying a cutting board on Etsy). Then we made a bench. On the last day we made a small bookshelf, which I am using as a charging station. In this class we used a jointer, planer, table saw, miter saw with bevel cuts, wood glue, drill/screw, filled holes, clamps, track saw, pocket hole jig. Walter is a great instructor. He explains every step, asks you to think about the next cut, and made sure our environment was safe to work in with the proper hearing and eye protection. I recommend this class to my friends and am excited to take another class at woodcraft."
