Your crew. Our tools. Something awesome in the making.

We've opened up our calendar for private events—because the best gatherings aren't about watching someone else do something. They're about discovering what you can do together.

Family reunions. Friend groups. Team offsites. Bachelor parties. Holiday gatherings.

Pick any of our workshops or dream up something custom. Build solo projects everyone takes home, or tackle one epic group build together.

Not sure where to start? We've got you. We'll help you find the perfect project for your group.

Email shop@sawdust247.com or call (573) 333-SAWS to claim your date.

"I had no idea I could do this."

We hear this every single day at Sawdust Studios.

That moment when you realize you're more capable than you ever believed? That's what membership is all about.

Here's what typically happens:

Someone walks in thinking they're "not handy" or "not the creative type." Maybe they've always been intimidated by power tools. Maybe they assume woodworking is only for people with years of experience.

Then they make their first cutting board.

Suddenly they're asking, "Could I build a table?" They're browsing project ideas at midnight. They're showing their spoon to everyone who'll look (and even people who won't 😄).

Because here's the truth: The capability was always there. You just needed:

→ Access to professional-grade tools (without the $20K investment)
→ Expert guidance from people who genuinely want you to succeed
→ Permission to be a beginner and make mistakes
→ A community that celebrates small victories

SAWDUST STUDIOS MEMBERSHIP INCLUDES:

✓ 24/7 shop access (yes, even at 2am if inspiration strikes)
✓ $200K+ in professional woodworking tools & equipment
✓ Expert support during staffed hours
✓ Community of makers who share tips freely
✓ Flexible payment plans starting at $60 every 2 weeks

Your first project won't be perfect. It'll be YOURS. And that's infinitely more valuable.

What will YOU create?

"One of the best instructional videos I've seen in 50 years of education."

"I watch woodworking videos every day, and I've never learned this much from a single video."

This is the feedback we got from members after dropping our Charcuterie Board tutorial. Not gonna lie—it feels pretty incredible. 🙌

🎥 Watch the full tutorial on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sojYRrLcp6U&t=245s

But here's what makes us even more excited: our members didn't just watch a video. They walked into our shop with 24/7 access, grabbed premium Missouri hardwoods, and MADE THESE BOARDS THEMSELVES.

That's the difference between watching woodworking content and actually being a woodworker.

Our Project Kit videos aren't just tutorials—they're your roadmap to using $200,000+ of professional tools, premium materials, and a community that's got your back. No intimidation. No gatekeeping. Just real guidance that turns "I wish I could" into "look what I made."
