Tables are our specialty!:

• We’ll help you find beautiful wood to match your project and style. You can lay wood out and see how pieces match together
• Then we show you how to trim the planks straight
• Joining the table is organized chaos, gluing and clamping so a couple of instructors will be there to help you get it just right

We then take the joined table top offsite to a commercial planer. It comes back professionally milled (leveled/sanded) so you don’t have to spend hours sanding (yay!)

When it comes back, you’ll fill any natural features (like knots) with an epoxy resin or wood filler.

If you choose wooden legs, we’ll help you design and build your base and legs. You’ll do a little bit of finishing sanding, then attach the base and legs.

It’s just that simple.

It will take around 6-12 hours to complete in 3-6 shop visits.

The cost depends on the amount of materials, the type of wood, and the amount of resin. Most commonly 6 person tables run around $900 and 8 person $1300. But we have something for every budget. Just book a Getting Started session from the Schedule page of the website, come in and we will go over all the options.

It does depend but a 6ft table, on average, will take 6 visits of 1.5hrs each.

Benches run about $250, depending on the amount of materials used.

It depends on your options but between $500 and $600.

All you need to do is schedule a “getting started” session from the schedule page of the website. At the session, we’ll go over the design you want, look at the wood available (and we have lots at the moment), cost, and perhaps even get started.

The class cost is all inclusive! All tools and materials provided.

You would only need one ticket for the two of you.

We’re all about keeping it local to minimize our footprint. I Made It mills all of the wood we use in the shop on Colorado’s Front Range. That’s why we call our process “Forrest to Table!” We have Ponderosa Pine from the Black Forest Burn Scar northeast Colorado Springs, known for bright, warm colors resulting from the heat of the fire. Other species of wood in the workshop include Elm, Cherry, Walnut, Russian Olive, Black and Honey Locust.

We have instructors and show you how to make it. We can make one for you if you don’t want to.

Small projects you can take home until you’re ready to work on them again. Larger projects can be left in the shop while you work on them for up to 30 days. After 30 days, there is a storage fee.

Of course, that depends on what you’re making and the complexity of your project.  Plan on a couple of sessions for smaller projects. Tables generally take 6-12 hours over three to four sessions to depending on the size.

Resin adds some cost to making a table, its just expensive material. It also adds a couple of extra visits to our shop, so an extra 4-6 hours in making your projects. This is because it takes 24 hours to dry per pour and only thin pours can be done at one time.
