Sell the bench and the vice on it, not an abstract place, and let one planer and one bandsaw settle how many people a sitting can carry.
Online booking
Someone opens a live sitting, takes one bench, and the benches left drop away in front of them without a phone call in either direction.
Learn moreOne shared timetable
Each sitting, tutor and taken bench across the week, so an induction and a heavy build are never set down against the same machine hour.

A short sitting on the table saw and the planer, capped far lower than a class, so nobody meets a blade for the first time in a crowd.
Planes, chisels and a stone. Nothing on the extractor and no queue at all, so the cap is only ever how many vices there are.
A stool or a hall table over four nights, with glue curing between them and a standing booking holding the same bench each week.
A term of joinery sold as a single run, ending on a date or after a chosen number of nights, with the bench held throughout.
Shave horses and a froe in the yard, well away from the machines, which is a different cap from anything running inside the shed.
A mallet and a set of gouges, nothing drawing on the extractor, so a couple more people fit than a machine-led night would allow.
A men’s shed or a local group takes the whole run of benches. Instruction, bench time and timber are itemised on a quote first.
Two long days on one piece, with boards bought and dimensioned per head once the booked count settles late in the week.
Oil and wax on pieces that dried since the last sitting. Barely a machine running, so a full bench run still gets through.
The cap is the vices on the bench run. An eighth person at seven benches spends the night watching, so the page stops at seven.
Put drop-in nights, a weekly bench, private group sittings and a term course up together. A machine induction goes up on its own, capped lower than the class it leads into. A quote covers anything past a bench.
See it in action
Schedule
A hand-tool class of ten and a machine night of four sit on the same day at their own honest numbers, so the supervision you need at each hour is plain before the week starts.
Instant booking
Places are set to what one instructor can safely stand behind at a table saw. The class closes itself at the last place, so it cannot be overbooked online.
Get paid
The fee is charged as the place is taken, so timber is bought and docked for people who have committed. A six-week build is quoted with the stock and finish itemised.
Less admin, more bookings
The day sets out each sitting, who is teaching it, the benches nobody has taken and which of those places are already paid.
People see the benches genuinely left, and the sitting closes online the moment the final vice goes rather than slipping a name in.
The fee goes on a card with Pro, or cash and bank transfer are written down on Free, and either way it belongs to that bench.
Set up in minutes. 200 bookings a month free, no card needed.
One app for every booking
The cap is the vices on the bench run and nothing else. Each confirmed booking lowers it, and the page shuts at the final bench.
Once you turn them on, confirmations and reminders carry the start time, the timber list and what to wear near a machine, all by email.
Set the capacity to the benches you can genuinely use. Each confirmed booking lowers the number left, and the page shuts at the final one.
Yes. A single booking can hold more than one bench, and every bench it holds counts against the same capacity.
Yes. A weekly or monthly standing booking holds it, ending never, on a date, or after a chosen number of nights.
It returns to the sitting at once, so the number left and the timetable both stay right without anybody going in to fix them.
Yes. Turn on confirmation and reminder emails, and everyone booked receives the time, the bench details and what to bring.
Paying by card as they book comes with Pro. On Free, cash and bank transfer are recorded by hand against the booking.
