Bench Space Available

Are you a recent graduate starting a career in furniture making or an experienced craftsman looking for a new challenge? We have several bench spaces available for rent at our Monteviot workshop.


At our inspirational two acre woodland site we can offer:

  1. Modern machine shop with PUWER compliant machinery and full dust extraction.

  2. Individual work areas or ‘bench spaces’

  3. Showroom to display and sell speculative pieces.

  4. Onsite timber processing and kiln drying using our Woodmizer Mobile sawmill and two kilns.

  5. Wood Store with makers discount.

  6. Collective Marketing and Promotion through our own showroom, website and by exhibiting at national shows and events.

  7. Established customer base with high repeat customers and referral network.

  8. Support and advice from friendly and experienced makers.


As a non profit distributing enterprise the workshop is run on collective basis with all makers contributing time and ideas to the success of the business. Each maker is self employed and runs his or her own micro business within the hub provided by the workshop. A Bench Space is £325 + VAT per month which includes all machine consumables and allows 24/7 access to the workshop. We have a small collection of hand and power tools available to share but it is recommended makers build their own collection.


We’d be happy to answer any questions or if you’d like to arrange a workshop visit please get in touch.


We look forward to hearing from you.
