woodshop

Where sawdust falls

A woodshop is a workshop equipped for woodworking—typically with power tools like table saws, lathes, and drill presses, along with hand tools and workbenches.

In schools, woodshop refers to the class where students learn to build things from wood: I made a birdhouse in woodshop.
