Custom, tabletop woodworking stations
Maplewoodshop will provide hand fabricated, patent pending tabletop woodworking stations according to your needs.
These stations enable safe sawing, drilling, hammering, planing, and more while preserving your tables.
Workstations come in sets of 2 and the pair is referred to a portable workbench. Workbenches are meant to be used in pairs of two so that they straddle the table and encourage community as students face each other.
They telescope to fit over your existing tables and are designed to lift up easily but not move side to side. Stations can telescope from 30”-48” and can be made to fit other size tables (additional fees apply).
Students work two to a workstation
Eye-hand coordination and fine motor skills at work
