Mission Community Woodshop is a welcoming, professional-grade, nonprofit shop in central SF. Our space is equipped for fine furniture making, cooperative in nature and includes woodworkers with a wide range of experience.
Small community: This is more than a place to cut dovetails. We envision a generous and inclusive community that works because of what we all bring to it.
Room to build and grow: We offer classes for students and bench rentals for members. Students choose from a range of courses, introductory to advanced. Each member will have a workbench and storage for projects, lumber and hand tools, as well as access to all machines during shop hours.
The tools you need, the guidance you want: Access an extraordinary collection of machines and handheld tools (see full machine list) as well as expert guidance and enthusiastic encouragement.
An inclusive ethic: We celebrate newbies, hobbyists and professional woodworkers, people of all genders, races and backgrounds. We share what we know, collaborate often and offer space where people feel they belong.
Monthly rent: Half-time: $575/mo; Full-time: $975/mo; sliding scale
