DIY Woodworking Classes in KL & Petaling Jaya β€” What to Expect

Everything you'd want to know before your first session: what actually happens on the day, what you can build, how pricing works, and who our classes are for.

Your Session, Step By Step

What happens on the day

Even if you've never used any power tools before, fret not! Every session is guided β€” an instructor stays with you from the moment you walk in to the moment you carry your finished piece out the door.

  1. πŸ‘‹
    Arrive & settle in
    Come to our workshop at Plaza Kelana Jaya and get settled at your own work bench for the day. Everything you need for your project is laid out and ready.
  2. πŸ”§
    Safety & tool briefing
    A short orientation on workshop safety and handling the tools you'll be using for the day.
  3. πŸ“
    Measure, mark & cut
    Your instructor walks you through the build, then handing the tool to you. You do the actual work to build a masterpiece of your own!
  4. ✨
    Sand, finish & admire
    Most builders say this is the best part β€” sanding the piece smooth, then oiling or waxing it and watching the natural wood grain come alive.
  5. πŸ“¦
    Take it home
    Your finished piece is yours to keep. If you're visiting from overseas and can't bring it back with you, we can help arrange shipping β€” details on this are covered in our booking page FAQ.

Pricing & what's included

Every price you see is per session, all-in β€” there's no separate "materials fee" added at the end. Each session includes:

  • Tools & materials β€” everything you need is provided and already factored into the price.
  • Guidance throughout β€” an instructor stays with you from start to finish.
  • Build together with a friend β€” bring a +1 to most sessions at no additional cost.

Prices range from RM80 for our smallest projects to RM675 for the most involved table build. Full per-project pricing, estimated durations, and dimensions are listed on each class card on the booking page.

Where The Wood Comes From

Built with 100% Malaysian wood

Every project here is built from locally- & sustainably-sourced timber. It's a deliberate choice β€” it keeps our supply chain shorter and more traceable, and it means the piece you build is made from wood that actually grew close to home.

We're also a 100% Malaysian-run team with our own workshop in Petaling Jaya β€” not a franchise or an imported concept. Beyond classes, we take on custom furniture commissions and run corporate teambuilding, including HRDF-claimable sessions and CSR builds that give back to the community.
