Testimonials:
“I recommend that if you have even a passing interest in woodworking, get yourself right on down to Philadelphia Woodworks and see for yourself what a wonderful experience you have been missing. The facilities are first rate, the staff are knowledgeable and friendly, and the membership and course offerings deliver outstanding return on any investment of time and resources.” -R. Saffer
“This is the perfect place for the novice and the experienced craftsman. The shop is beautiful and well stocked. The staff are inviting and amazingly helpful. I have received tons of attention from skilled furniture makers who take the time to teach and explain. They helped me think through my project and have become invested in my success. The other members are friendly and inviting and are excited to share their ideas. Philadelphia Woodworks is an amazing place.†–I. Sasson
