About
Why Tinkery?
Because it’s fun to solve problems, work with your hands, and create beautiful things.
A small workshop, a lot of projects
We enjoy making things for people to use and enjoy out of our small workshop in Austin, Texas. Whether we’re working with wood, metal, or pretty much anything else we can get our hands on at Tinkery HQ, we build cool projects for great people.
We hope this site will entertain, inspire, and attract others who like making things as much as we do.
How we work
Three things we care about
Make it properly
We’d rather take the extra hour than hand over something we wouldn’t keep ourselves. Joinery that holds, finishes that last.
Share what we know
Every technique we use, someone taught us. Workshops, classes and honest tool reviews are how we pass that on.
Enjoy the problem
The interesting jobs are the ones nobody has an off-the-shelf answer for. Those are the ones we want.
Come and make something with us
Book a workshop, commission a piece, or just say hello.
