The Good Stuff
Flexible Teaching
The modular course adjusts its training approach to match each student’s learning curve.
Kids Sessions
Private sessions can accommodate children of different ages, with each child making a separate item.
Structured Classes
Longer workshops are clearly planned; one stool course ran for eight hours across two four-hour sessions.
Safe Supervision
Workshop sessions are guided by an expert, with participants supervised while working.
Custom Work
The woodturners created balanced custom wooden sticks for traditional combat training and adjusted the design to suit the use.
Parent Waiting
Parents have a waiting area where they can watch their child’s first carpentry experience.
Laser Engraving
Some workshop projects can receive laser engraving, adding a personal finishing touch to what you make.
Tips for a Better Visit
Try First. Start with the trial class if you are unsure about woodworking; one visitor made a coaster during theirs.
Ask About Courses. If you want to go beyond an introduction, ask about modular or multi-session courses rather than stopping after one class.
Bring Children. The children’s sessions suit different ages, and private bookings can give each child their own project.
Expect Supervision. Beginners can use the workshop with guidance and supervision throughout the session, including while learning the tools.
Plan Projects. For a specific build, discuss the design first; the team has adapted custom pieces to their intended use.
Use Waiting Area. If a child is attending, parents can wait on site and watch the activity from the waiting area.

The Bottom Line
The Makers Society is a hands-on woodworking hub in Ras Al Khor Industrial Area - Ras Al Khor Industrial Area 3. It suits beginners who want a guided introduction, families looking for a practical activity, and DIY enthusiasts who need a properly equipped workspace. Reviews mention trial sessions making coasters, a timber-frame project, and an introductory toolbox build, so you leave with more than just a demonstration.
There is room to go further. Visitors have taken a Jewellery box course, a stool-making workshop spread over two four-hour sessions, and modular training designed around the student’s learning curve. The workshop is described as clean, organised and well equipped, with clear instructions and supervision while using the tools.
Children are also well catered for: reviewers describe private sessions for ages 8, 10 and 12, as well as longer carpentry courses for older children. This is not only a class venue. Customers have bought a handmade end-grain cutting board and commissioned custom wooden sticks for traditional combat training, with the design adjusted to the intended use.
Parents can wait and watch during children’s sessions, while laser engraving is available on some finished projects. No customer-reported prices were provided, so ask about current class or custom-work fees before booking.
