Welcome
Woodshop Classes Sacramento - Craft Beautiful Objects with Spectacular Wood
An oasis of calm in a sea of distraction.
Our school is located downtown amid towering trees and our charming gardens.
Our Mission
At Woodshop Squared, we teach real-world skills through our Sacramento woodworking classes, utilizing commonly available and inexpensive tools. Our style of woodworking pays homage to the days of pioneers who used human-scale tools powered by... humans.
The objects displayed on the left were crafted by youth students, some as young as nine, in our woodworking classes in Sacramento. Even our woodworking finishes are handmade from beeswax and mineral oil, ensuring they are completely kid-safe.
Sustainable Practices
At Woodshop Squared, we utilize vintage tools, some dating back to the time of Benjamin Franklin, though most are from the early 1900s. We even craft some of our own tools! Much of the wood we work with is either repurposed or salvaged, and the most exciting part is that we also harvest wood from local urban trees. In our woodworking classes in Sacramento, we use a variety of woods including avocado, grapefruit, sycamore, apple, camphor, elm, walnut, cork oak, and more, often collected after windstorms or generously donated to us.
