The Wood Work Shop

I was having lunch with a group of friends and one of the women mentioned her Wood Working Class and taking a Wood Working Class was on my list of things to do. So I contacted Dennis and headed out to start. I made my Christmas gifts for that year for my sons and their families. Dennis was very patient and I realized that there is finesse required when working with wood. It was very satisfying! Made two beautiful cutting boards and a cherry wood bowl for my first projects. Plan on going back for more! Great group, too.

Dennis made us a custom made fire mantel. It’s incredibly beautiful and I refer him to everyone I know. He’s very professional and friendly and VERY gifted and skilled in his craft. Thank you for our gorgeous fire mantel. My family room now feels complete thanks to you Dennis.

I came across this workshop school while I was trying to build a woodworking work bench for my garage. I was a beginner at the time with little woodworking experience and wanted to explore the craft. I had no idea how much there is to learn in the arena of woodworking. Since learning wood working techniques from Dennis at the woodshop, I feel like I can tackle different and more challenging projects now.
So far I’ve build a few items I use every day, such as my bed, shoe rack, juice press, roubo workbench. I’ve built other miscellaneous items as well. It’s really nice when you build something by hand and give it to someone as a present. They will truly appreciate a handmade gift.
I’ve continued working with Dennis for quite some time now and hope to learn more tricks of the trade as my interest grows. I would highly recommend taking classes here to beginner all the way up to advanced students. There is a breadth of knowledge that Dennis is able to provide. And after you build something, you will definitely feel accomplished. Highly recommended.

Great people that are always willing to give a helping hand or some advice. Class sizes are small lots of hands on experience.

I went in to meet Dennis today to take the free intro class. It was great. Dennis went off topic repeatedly to make sure he answered all my questions. He showed me all the tools around the shop and discussed what projects are made in the different classes that he offers. I traveled all the way from Irvine to take his class because of all the positive reviews I read and it turns out they are all true. Dennis is great and his shop is small but adequate. If you want a cool shop with a nice teacher where you will get quality time with the instructor, look no further than the Wood Work Shop in Corona.

I have done some incredible stuff at the wood workshop. In addition to making three woodworking benches and selling them at the Corona Rotary Lobsterfest I’m not sure what I’m going to be making this year but I think it’s going to be fun. Dennis has all the tools and all the skills and expertise to make you a great woodworker.

Dennis and his team of supporting master craftsman are amazing. They are patient with newbies like me and focus on safety and proper usage of the machines. Dennis sets you on a path for mastering the tools by walking you through increasingly complex projects. The wood shop also hits the road to swap meets for building your own tool collection and meeting master craftsman like Lon Shleining — «The Workbench». I love my shop time!

I am a mom/​kindergarten teacher and have always been interested in learning woodworking. I found this class and signed up. The price was great and I really loved the way Dennis put his emphasis on safety. I felt safe using all tools including the table saw, band saw, and miter saw just to name a few. I learned everything from the basics, how to use a drill, to my last project where I build a table! Class size was small, always 3 – 5 students and I had individual time every time. Dennis was a great instructor and was very patient. Highly recommend his class!
