Which benches are spoken for, and when

Every session, tutor and taken bench across the week, so an induction and a long build are not put down against the same planer hour.

Built for you

Built for every kind of woodworking class business

The machine induction

A short session on the table saw and the planer, capped well below a normal class, so nobody is introduced to a blade in a full room.

Hand-tool evenings

Planes, chisels and a sharpening stone. No extractor to share and no queue, so the cap is simply how many vices there are.

Small furniture

A stool or a bedside table over four evenings, glue drying between them, with the same bench held by a standing booking.

Dovetail and mortice work

A term of joinery sold as one run, ending on a date or after a set number of evenings, the bench held the whole way through.

Green woodworking

Shave horses and a froe out the back, away from the machines, which is a different cap from anything happening inside the shop.

Wood carving

Gouges and a mallet, drawing nothing from the extractor, so a few more people fit than an evening built around machines allows.

Half-term workshops

A morning each day through the week, capped low, with the same young hands returning to the same bench every one of those days.

Private group sessions

A works do or a birthday takes the shop for an evening. Instruction, bench time and timber all go on a quote beforehand.

Finishing evenings

Wax and oil on pieces that dried since last week. Almost no machine time, so a completely full bench list still gets through.

Woodworking: as many benches as you have.

The cap is the vices along the wall. There is no polite way to add a tenth person to nine benches, so the page simply stops at nine.

  • Options, with Pro

    Sell drop-in evenings, a weekly bench, private group sessions and a term-long course together. A machine induction can go up on its own, capped lower than the class it leads into. A quote covers the rest.

A six-week stool build, itemised before the first cut.

Schedule

Two ceilings on one day

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.

The machine night stops at four

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

Stock docked against paid places

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

Made for woodworking class businesses

The bench plan, before anyone picks up a chisel

The day lists each session, whoever is teaching it, the benches not yet taken and which of those places have been paid for.

  • The count is already doneA confirmed bench leaves availability as it is taken, so nobody is walking the room counting vices with a class waiting outside.
  • The tutor is genuinely freeWorking hours and session assignments keep an evening off anybody already teaching, even in a week where the run has moved a day.
  • The regulars are inWeekly and monthly bookings appear in the timetable ahead of time, so a held bench never has to be typed in again.

The last bench goes, the session closes

People see the benches genuinely left, and the session closes online as the final vice is taken rather than quietly adding a name.

  • One number, shown to allEverybody opening the session sees the same figure, the two benches a pair took together included in it.
  • Nobody spends the evening waitingA full session stays full, because an extra person with no vice watches the planer queue instead of making anything at all.
  • The quiet evenings showFree benches on a midweek session sit beside the full Saturday, so the next workable evening is easy enough to spot.

Fee and timber cost on one record

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.

  • Paid as the bench is takenOn Pro the card is taken while the bench is chosen, so the register and the paid column are never a week apart.
  • The desk still countsWhoever pays cash on their way in is recorded by hand on Free, and the booking carries it as plainly as a card payment would.
  • Group work gets a quoteInstruction, bench time, timber and machine hours are itemised for a private group, and the agreed figure stays on the booking.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your woodworking class business.

Online booking

Someone picks a live session, takes a single bench and watches the benches still free go down as they book, with nothing for you to confirm.

Scheduling

Every session, tutor and taken bench sits on one timetable, so an induction and a long build never get put down against the same planer hour.

Capacity that holds

The cap is the vices you actually have along the wall. Confirmed bookings bring that number down and the page closes at the last bench.

Email reminders

Confirmations and reminders go by email once you switch them on, carrying the start time, the timber list and what to wear near a machine.

Customers

Every session, payment and finished piece stays against the customer, so a returning learner is not asked what they made in the spring term.

Estimates

A private group goes on a quote first: instruction, bench time, timber and the machine hours involved, itemised before a date is held.

Team

Each tutor carries real hours and the sessions they are able to take, so an evening only opens where the person and the bench are both free.

Payments

Cash and bank transfer are written down by hand on Free. On Pro the fee goes on a card as the bench is taken, and shows paid on the booking.

Common questions.

Set the capacity to the benches you can genuinely use. Confirmed bookings bring the number down, and the page closes at the last one.

Yes. One booking can hold more than one bench, and each bench it holds is counted against the same capacity.

Yes. A weekly or monthly standing booking holds it, ending never, on a date, or after a chosen number of evenings.

It goes back to the session straight away, so the number left and the timetable both stay correct without anyone amending them.

Yes. Switch on confirmation and reminder emails, and everyone booked gets the time, the bench details and what to bring with them.

Paying by card at the point of booking comes with Pro. On Free, cash and bank transfer are recorded by hand on the booking.
