Revision as of 19:49, 1 March 2014
We are a club for people interested in woodworking, carpentry and cabinet making in London.
We meet every Wednesday evening at 7pm in the basement workshop. During the club nights, we make stuff out of wood, practice joints, such as mortice and tenon or dovetail joints, work on projects together or independently and learn new skills.
(Note that this wiki page is not always up to date, if in doubt the more authoritative source is our website at www.playwood.co.)
Getting in touch
If you would like to do some woodwork at the London Hackspace and use our tools, please join the Pl(a)ywood google group and introduce yourself!

Our woodworking tools
We have a range of hand tools which are available to members, including saws, chisels, planes, marking out equipment, as well as the equipment of the London Hackspace.
Our initial equipment was funded by our members with a very successful pledge for woodworking tools. We are now also starting to receive tool donations by people who want to support our activities.
Joining the group
You should first become a member of the London Hackspace if you would like to visit more regularly. Rent in London is surprisingly expensive...

- Access to a full set of quality, well looked after Woodworking_Hand_Tools
- 5% discount at Axminster Tools
- Become part of a friendly group of fellow woodworking fans

Responsibilities of joining include:
