Orrin Falls · Open six days a week
A bench, a vise and someone to ask.
Clampenny is a shared woodshop: full-size machines, a wall of hand tools and a shop lead on the floor every open hour. Bring an idea; leave with the thing you made.

Start here
The intro session, in plain words
Book a session
Tuesdays 6–9pm or Saturdays 9am–noon, six people at most. It costs $45.
Meet the machines
A shop lead shows you the table saw, the miter saw, the band saw, the drill press and the sanders, one at a time, and you make a cut on each.
Learn the house rules
Glasses on, hair tied back, sweep your bench, return the clamps. Everyone does the intro session before using the saws.
Leave with a sign-off card
Your card lists the machines you can use. From then on you can book a bench or become a member.
Then
Booking a bench
Pick a time
Ask for a bench in two-hour blocks during open hours. Saturdays fill first, so book those up to a week ahead.
Bring your wood or buy ours
Bring your boards, or buy pine, poplar, oak and maple offcuts by the board foot at the counter.
Check in and build
Your bench comes with a vise, clamps, hand planes and chisels. Saws and sanders are shared and signed out at the counter.
Sweep and go home
Leave the bench clear. A project in progress can wait on the members' rack.
Your first night starts with the intro.
Three hours, six people, every machine. Tell us which session suits you.
