Educating the quality-minded hobbyist in the art of woodworking.
The Chicago School of Woodworking, LLC (“CSW”) was established in 2007 to train students in the art of furniture making. Principally focused on the novice hobbyist, CSW’s goal is to use a progressive skills based approach to teaching individuals how to make furniture.
Through lectures, demonstrations, and most importantly, practical application, CSW’s intent is to produce graduates who can safely and effectively build furniture both with hand tools and machines.
Our primary business objective is to instruct and educate students. Our facility is conducive to the learning process and geared for a quality educational experience. We have chosen machinery and tools that are safe, up-to-date, and well maintained, so students can focus on learning and enjoy the varied aspects of building a quality piece of furniture.
