No, you don't need to be an advanced woodworker to benefit from a membership at Knock on Wood. The only requirement is that you're skilled enough to work independently and use the space in a safe, respectful manner.

For those who learn with us, we usually find it takes around 2 courses (25 hours) worth of supervised/guided crafting.

That's a great question — we offer a wide range of packages, but it can seem a little overwhelming at first!

Here is what we usually advise:

And, obviously, long-term commitments get better prices!

You can cancel your membership at the end of each renewal period (1/3/6/12 months depending on which package you choose).

If you want to have more flexibility, we advise you to go for the 1/3-month packages.

Our workshops are equipped with a wide range of woodworking machines:

​

• Table saw with sliding table

• Jointer + planer(s)

• Large & mid-size bandsaws

• Scroll saw

• Mitre saw

• Router table

• Drill press

• Lathes

• Belt & disc sanders

• Orbital sanders

• Spindle sander

• Dust extractors & air filters

• Wide range of power tools, hand tools, and other equipment

​

If you need more specific information, don't hesitate to reach out to us.

No two projects are the same, so we don't have a specific limit on project size or quantity.

Instead, we are guided by the following principles:

- For projects that cause an "abnormal" strain on the machines or use significant storage space, we may ask for additional payment.

- Anyone looking to mass-produce or produce for sale must inform us expressly before starting membership. They will be given a personalised quote based on their planned workshop use.

Great question! :)

In addition to workshop access, our members get the following perks:

1. A 20% discount on all workshops and courses;

2. Free participation at our monthly members' gatherings;

3. Participation in the workshop's development by dedicating up to 10% of membership contributions towards workshop improvements;

4. Freeze your membership for 1, 2, or 4 weeks for the 3, 6, and 12 month packages respectively;

5. Discounted private support hours (50 chf instead of 90 chf) for the first month of membership to help you bridge the gap to independence.

We offer three types of membership:

1. Classic membership — full access to all tools and machines;

2. Turning membership — for those only use the lathe;

3. Hand tool membership — for those who only use hand tools (50% off our standard prices).

Yes, we offer a 5% discount for upfront payment on the 3/6/12 month packages.

Please send us an email to request an invoice.
