I’m working on something new at Sparks Splinter Shop that I’m pretty excited about.

I’m putting together a series of small, hands-on woodworking classes where people can come into the shop, learn how furniture is actually built, and leave with something they built themselves.

The classes will be structured in different levels, starting with beginner-friendly projects and working up into more advanced furniture and cabinetmaking.

The first series will be based around a matching five-piece furniture collection I designed:

* End tables
* Coffee table
* Entry table
* TV stand / entertainment center

The beginner classes will use prepared parts so students can focus on learning furniture construction, assembly, joinery, squaring, sanding, finishing, and how the whole process works without being overwhelmed by machinery on day one.

As students progress, the classes will become more hands-on with layout, cutting, milling, joinery, tool use, and eventually full furniture and cabinet construction.

The TV stand will be one of the most advanced classes because it combines both furniture-building and cabinetmaking skills.

Classes will be:

* Small groups
* Hands-on
* Safety focused
* Beginner friendly
* One-day and two-day formats
* Tools and materials provided
* Designed so you leave with a finished project

You won’t need a shop full of tools or years of experience. The whole idea is to give people a place to learn, build confidence, understand the process, and actually create something they’re proud to take home.

I’m still finalizing the first class dates, pricing, and details.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, comment “WOODWORKING” below or send me a message.

I’d really like to see how much interest there is before I open the first class.

Custom When You Want It. Budget-Friendly When You Need It.

Not every project needs to be completely custom—and we believe in giving our customers options.

That’s why we offer two great solutions to fit different budgets.

Our Budget-Friendly Cabinet Line

These aren’t the flimsy, flat-packed cabinets you spend a weekend assembling.

Our budget cabinets come factory assembled from a trusted supplier and feature:
✔ Solid cabinet construction
✔ Soft-close doors and drawers
✔ Quality hardware
✔ Durable painted and wood finishes
✔ Professional installation
✔ Excellent value for the investment

They’re a great choice for rental properties, house flips, starter homes, or anyone looking for a beautiful kitchen without the price of full custom cabinetry.

Our Fully Custom Cabinetry

When you want something truly unique, we build it from the ground up.

Custom means:
✔ Built specifically for your home
✔ Unlimited sizes and layouts
✔ Premium materials and hardwood options
✔ Specialty storage solutions
✔ Furniture-quality craftsmanship
✔ One-of-a-kind designs you won’t find anywhere else

We won’t try to sell you the most expensive option if it’s not what your project needs. We’ll help you choose the solution that gives you the best value for your budget.

Whether it’s factory-built quality cabinets or completely custom craftsmanship, you’ll receive honest advice, professional installation, and a finished product we’re proud to put our name on.

Every project. Every budget. Built with quality in mind.
