Bring us your idea — a plant frame, pet house, shelf, instrument stand, a gift for someone special. We'll assess if it's buildable in a session and prepare everything for you. Past custom builds include cat trees, plant frames, pet houses, and personalised keepsakes.

Common Questions

Not at all! Most of our participants are complete beginners. Our instructors guide you through every step, from handling the tools safely to assembling your final piece. If you can follow instructions, you can build with us.
Yes — you can bring a friend to build together at no additional charges.
Smaller projects, such as the Bunga Raya Pocket Mirror and Slanted Book Stand, are encouraged to be built individually.
We're happy to host private sessions for birthdays, bridal showers, bonding sessions, or any special occasion. Reach out to us via WhatsApp with your preferred date, group size, and occasion, and we'll work out a session that fits.
Yes, we use food-safe and non-toxic finishing options for items like chopping boards and trays. Let us know what you're building and how you intend to use it, and we'll advise on the most suitable finish.
Possibly! Share your design with us beforehand — including dimensions and reference images — and we'll assess if it's feasible to build during a class session. More complex designs may be better suited to our custom furniture service instead, and we're happy to advise which route fits best.
At the moment, our workshop and tools are used exclusively for our guided classes and sessions, where an instructor is present throughout. We don't currently offer space or tool rental for independent, unsupervised projects.
Just yourself — we provide all the tools, materials, and safety gear you'll need. We'd suggest wearing comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes, as you'll be standing and working with tools throughout the session.
Yes, we can help arrange shipping for your finished piece. Shipping costs and delivery timelines will depend on your destination country and the size of the item — let us know in advance so we can sort out the logistics with you.
Yes, kids are welcome in select sessions with proper supervision. Some projects involve power tools that may not be suitable for younger children, so let us know the child's age when booking and we'll recommend an appropriate project.
We recommend booking in advance to guarantee your spot and ensure we have enough materials and tools prepared for your session.
No problem — our team-building programmes are a separate offering, designed specifically for corporate and group bonding. Head over to our Teambuilding page to see the Group Build, Individual Build, and CSR Build options we offer.
While there are a few woodworking studios around the Klang Valley, we're proud to be a 100% Malaysian-run team with our own workshop in Petaling Jaya. We focus on genuine hands-on learning — every project is guided step-by-step by our instructors, and we use sustainably sourced local hardwoods wherever possible. Beyond classes, we also offer custom furniture commissions and corporate teambuilding, including HRDF-claimable sessions and CSR builds that give back to the community. If you're comparing studios, feel free to reach out with any questions — we're happy to explain what makes a session with us worthwhile.
