What you'll do
Have you always wanted to make some tools of your own, but haven't known where to start? This traditional mallet making workshop in Sydney is a great introduction to making your own tools at home with a range of reclaimed timber.
In this hands-on class, taught by Gardening Australia's "Mr Fix It" Luke Mitchell, you'll learn how to make and fit your own woodworking mallet using some simple, traditional hand tools.
What we'll cover:
- Knowledge of general safety in the workshop
- Timber selection and an understanding of second-hand timber
- Grain direction; its strengths and weaknesses and how to work with it
- How to use a variety of cutting, shaping and finishing hand tools
- Finishing woodworking projects
By the end of the class, you'll have a basic understanding of some of the principles of woodwork and will discover the nourishment that comes from creating something tangible with your hands and working with ethically sourced materials!
This workshop runs for six hours (plus a one-hour lunch break) and is perfect for small groups.
This course is open to students 13 and older. Among The Trees accepts students under 18 in two groups:
- Students 13-15 years of age must attend all courses with a parent or guardian. This parent or guardian must also purchase a place in the course and take part. One parent/guardian is able to attend with multiple students.
- Students 16-17 years of age may attend a course without a parent or guardian present.
Please note: Public dates for this class require at least 10 guests to run. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we'll cancel the class; in this case we'll inform you and allow you to get a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.

Your teacher
Among the Trees is an ethical and sustainability based start-up for reclaimed timber located in Marrickville.Â
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.Â
Â
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.Â
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.
Â
All-in-all, everyone that is interested in wood is welcome!

Fantastic day! Josh was an excellent teacher and made time for everyone working at different paces. Loved the classroom layout and the small class size. Really good experience and am looking forward to going back!

Among the Trees is a great venue to learn woodwork. Luke isa professional teacher who is very able to communicate technical detail in a clear and easily understandable manner. The class was paced well and he regularly checks we are all following. The materials provided were excellent and exactly what we needed for the class. I learnt how to a mortice and tenon joint to create a mallet and made some mistakes along the way. Luke was able to assist me with my errors and how to correct them. It was a fun class and I enjoyed the atmosphere and camaraderie.
Thank you!

This was a terrific full day course; well- organised with great tools, benches and materials provided.
Luke is a keen and experienced instructor; his love of the work is obvious and he provides all participants, whatever their level of experience, with personalised attention.
I really enjoyed learning so many new hand tool skills and coming away with a great mallet made from recycled Australian hardwood.
I know I will be back for another course in the future!
