Crafts, kits & commissioned work
Buy a kit you can build yourself, commission the perfect custom piece for your home, or send us something that needs repairing.

We’re glad you’re here
Get into it.
Tinkery is about getting hands on and jumping in.
Our mission is to make things, repair stuff, and inspire others who appreciate craft or want to develop their own skills.
Whether we’re building for ourselves, taking on commissioned work, or just spending time in the shop, we’re happy to share with you.

Classes & workshops
What’s better than creating beautiful wood, metal and handmade things? Doing it together. We run workshops for families, groups and scout troops.

Tools & reviews
The right tool makes any task easier. We only review tools we actually use — what we like, what we don’t, and where to buy them.

- Parent & Me Birdhouse Builders — design, build and decorate together
- Pinewood Derby — bring the troop and their kits
