It Started With One Table
Joel built a table in his driveway on Fisk Avenue — just something his family needed. But that table became so much more: a place for smiles and connection. That single project sparked our vision for Fisk Avenue DIY Studio: a space where people come together to build, learn, and create memories that last.
Customer Testimonials
Hear From Our Makers
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tom
"What a great find. Such a great experience for two or more to share. My wife and I made a super fantastic charcuterie board. She selected the wood and design and I sanded and helped glue it. The folks helping us were professional and provided great guidance. We will definitely be back. I suggest it is a great gift for any occasion as well at half the price you would pay at a retail store. It is high quality and we look forward to handing it down for our son to use someday! Don't miss this or you truly will be missing out."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Keane
"This place is great - lots of woodworking inspiration. The owners/instructors are very knowledgeable, friendly, and fun to work with. Neither of them rushed us through the project, even though we were clearly going over the time allotted. I will definitely be back for more."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rachel
"I had an absolute blast at the resin pouring class! My group of four friends and I had so much fun getting creative. The instructors were fantastic – they did a great job explaining everything clearly and were super accommodating with any requests we had. We all left with some awesome creations and even better memories. Highly recommend it!"
