Recent reviews of Mid-Century Modern Coffee Table Making Course
- 5/5 from Gordon Rowell, attended Apr 2026: Excellent course - Mark and Tim were great guides through all of the steps. Every one of the eight tables in the class looked fabulous at the end. It's wonderful to start by selecting from wood that was saved from being dumped to end up with a stunning piece of furniture.
- 5/5 from Sirria Li, attended Apr 2026: Great course! Mark and Tim were very knowledgeable and supportive. Both encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and use some intimidating power tools. Such a great learning environment where students and teachers were all helping each other out. All the table tops came out beautifully!! Tiring but very worth it
- 5/5 from Sara Kelly, attended Apr 2026: I was looking for a woodwork course and a coffee table; this course was perfect. We were taught not only what to do but why we do it that way, it was a lot more meaningful beyond just putting pieces together. Tim and Mark are excellent teachers. They approach things differently but respectfully share their ways of doing something with the class and we could make a decision about which option to choose ourselves. They created a safe and engaging learning environment, and I have to say all of our tables looked fantastic by Sunday evening. It is hard work and two big days, but it is absolutely worth it, and I encourage anyone who is up for the challenge to do it. I went with limited woodwork experience from high school (last century) and I can now proudly say I made a beautiful coffee table - with reclaimed Australian timber.
Your teacher
Among the Trees is an ethical and sustainability based start-up for reclaimed timber located in Marrickville. Saving timber from demolitions or other discarded uses and making it available to the public through a retail timber shop and woodworking classes. Accessibility to wood doesn't just mean being wheelchair friendly (which we are), it also means helping customers understand how to use and source reclaimed timber. To make it as easy as possible to work with, we offer custom machining and glueing, so the timber in our store can be squared, resurfaced and cut to specific dimensions. We also help empower individuals to have the confidence to undertake woodworking projects by offering woodworking beginners classes that are taught with simple hand tools.  Lumberyards and wood workshops can be intimidating sometimes, ATT is one of the few places that caters not only to architects, planners, homeowners as well as carpenters and tradespeople but also to customers that have little to no woodworking experience and are embarking on DIY and student projects or trying their hand at repair, renovating or building. Our workshop at Among The Trees is set up to be the perfect space to learn about hand tools, reclaimed timber, and woodworking. We’ve been hard at work collecting, restoring and tuning all the tools required to learn woodworking, and a few extra ones as well. All-in-all, everyone that is interested in wood is welcome!
