Pilorama SPB

An informal workshop and gathering space for woodworkers in Saint Petersburg.

An informal workshop for people who work with wood and have ruined a piece of oak at least once. No strict blueprints here, no expensive tools, and no unsolicited advice on how to sharpen a chisel.

Most of what we keep started as scraps people saved for themselves: how they noticed a grain was running the wrong way, what a good joint actually requires, and what finishing a table looked like afterwards.

Gathering happens when someone opens the shop doors, usually a Saturday morning or a quiet evening. Nothing is sold and nobody takes attendance. New faces come along with someone who is already here, which is why there is no sign-up form on this page.
