About the Community Woodshop
Before it was a place for community and craftsmanship, the Woodshop was a 400-square-foot room containing a monstrous 102-year-old radiator, 4-foot tall fan, broken windows, and ugly green paint. It took the vision of founding members Emily Li and Mark Schiller to bring the idea of a community woodshop to life. From there, a dedicated group of volunteers led by former PNA staff member Bill Fenimore turned that vision into an innovative professional woodshop.
On May 19, 2023 the PNA officially dedicated the Community Woodshop to Bill Fenimore in recognition of his visionary leadership and commitment to building a community around the idea of “slow woodworking” (drop in sometime and ask us what that means).
Ready to get involved? The PNA Community Woodshop offers classes where beginners and experienced woodworkers can learn new skills, as well as shop time (by reservation) and a community of supportive experts to help guide your woodworking journey.

Classes
In addition to the required Community Woodshop Orientation and Introduction to Woodworking & Shop Safety classes, the Woodshop offers a variety of classes just for fun. These are the perfect chance to get some inspiration, learn new skills, and meet other woodworkers. New classes are offered quarterly and space is very limited, so sign up today!
