Our Philosophy

There’s something incredibly rewarding about building something with your own hands and feeling proud of what you’ve made. We’re creating a professional woodshop where that experience is available to everyone—from curious beginners and hobbyists to seasoned woodworkers.

Our shop will feature top-of-the-line tools, hands-on classes for all skill levels, and flexible memberships—including 24-hour access—so you can create on your own schedule. Most importantly, we’re building a welcoming, inspiring community where people can connect, learn, and grow together.

Excited to join us?

Tim Stone - Owner

As an IT management professional, I thrive on aligning technology with business goals through strategic planning, effective crisis management, and strong team collaboration. I take pride in turning challenges into opportunities for growth while fostering a positive, motivated work environment.

Lately, I’ve found a new passion in woodworking. There’s something deeply rewarding about the hands-on process and the satisfaction of bringing a project to life—much like the sense of accomplishment I aim for in my work in IT.

Fred Kaiser - Owner

A lifelong resident of Crystal Lake, Fred brings a rich background in both education and craftsmanship. Before retiring from his career as a physical education teacher and coach at Lundahl Middle School, he channeled his energy into one of his passions— his woodworking business, Kaiser Fine Woodworking & Design.

Fred first met Tim while working on a custom project for his office. When the idea of opening a shared woodshop came up, it felt like a natural fit. Combining his love for woodworking with his passion for teaching, Fred is excited to help others discover the creativity and satisfaction that comes from working with their hands.

LOCATION: 6213 Factory Rd., Suite C, Crystal Lake, IL 60014
