If you've been looking for a creative outlet with an emphasis on community, Veterans Woodworking Workshop has just the thing is the right place. I offer woodworking workshops for veterans and people that are looking to create memories that will last a lifetime.
I'm Don Roden, founder of Veterans Woodworking Workshop. As a veteran, I have a special place for fellow veterans who may be struggling, like many of us do, and who may want to share a creative outlet. I enjoy sharing my love of woodturning and woodworking with anyone who wants to learn.

We Support Our Veterans
Take advantage of our resources for veterans
Don't miss out on unique classes
My shop is more than just a place to make wooden creations. One of my goals at Veterans Woodworking Workshop is to provide a safe space for creativity. Having artistic hobbies comes with several benefits beyond art. Along with creating a one-of-a-kind piece of art, some other benefits of woodworking as a pastime include:
- Boosting overall mood
- Increasing mental clarity
- Reducing anxiety and stress
- Utilizing communication skills
- Improving fine motor skills
- Honing a creative skill
- Utilizing math skills
Why you should work with us
Our small business is one-of-a-kind. While there are art classes all around, finding a woodworking class that focuses on the mental health of veterans is unique. You should trust our local woodworker because we:
Have years of experience in the business
Help people channel their creative side in a safe environment
Offer resources for veterans
Create memories that will last a lifetime
