Machine Workshop


About Us

At the Machine Workshop we believe that it is critical for every designer to understand how things are constructed, and the best way to learn is to build it yourself. We pride ourselves on providing all the key tools, technology, training and support you need from a range of local experienced furniture designers, architects, fabricators and woodworkers. At the Machine Workshop you can work with materials like timber, foam, plastics and aluminium on a range of machines and hand tools to create furniture, full scale building mockups, prototypes and architectural models to name a few. If you have an idea for a project you want to create, we’ll be able to help you build it.

The Machine Workshop has a large collection of generic workshop tools along with more specialised woodworking tools including Japanese hand saws, a variety of carving chisels and hand-planes. If there is a hand tool that you need, you'll probably find it in the machine workshop.


Knowledge Base
