Wood work for fun

When was the last time you built something from scratch with your own two hands? If that question made you pause to think, the answer is: too long ago. Luckily, Singapore has no shortage of crafts workshops to help you rekindle that creative spark. You’ve no doubt come across ceramics, jewellery-making, calligraphy and other such workshops, but have you heard of woodworking? Whether you’re a 6-ft, muscled hunk looking to impress the ladies with a skilfully built cabinet, a homebody wanting to inject a personal touch into their furniture, or a jaded office worker desperate for mental break from deadlines, these woodworking enterprises have just the solution.

Tombalek prides itself on being Singapore’s front-runner in woodwork and metalwork education. From furniture-making classes to electric guitar- and bass-making, they have something for everyone. Eyeing the furniture-making workshops but not a fan of hard wooden seats? Tombalek also offers upholstery classes for you to upholster your self-made couch. Aside from these large projects, their toy-making classes are popular with children and even more popular with adults. (Who doesn’t want to spruce up their work desk with a cute wooden tank?) For a team-bonding activity, sign up for their chopsticks-making group class.
