About The Builder’s Den…

YOUR Community Woodworking Shop

At The Den, we understand the challenges of bringing creative projects to life — whether it’s a lack of space, tools, or know-how. Like many of you, we’ve faced these hurdles ourselves. Even with our kids eager to build something but lacking the right environment. We realized that we’re not alone: many people struggle with where to start, especially beginners with very little experience, or those looking for meaningful activities.

That’s where The Builder’s Den comes in — now there is space where your ideas can flourish, and where you can turn your visions into reality. We’re excited to offer a welcoming, well-equipped workshop where you can dive into woodworking projects without the usual constraints. Here, you’re not just a participant; you’re the one that is doing the building, and you will be able to create your design and feel proud of it. Join us in building a vibrant community where everyone can collaborate, learn, and make something amazing.

    Growing up in a DIY family, hands-on learning became second nature. As a teacher, Tanya had the privilege of seeing that same joy and discovery in her students and children as they created and solved problems with their hands. At The Den, she's excited to continue fostering this curiosity and helping others experience the joy of learning through making and building.
