Plane Wellness

Plane Wellness Improving mental wellness through woodworking. Our mission is to improve mental wellness through woodworking while encouraging an inclusive community.

We provide free woodworking courses to individuals 18+ years old with a mental health diagnosis or physical disability, including disabled veterans. Hobbies have been shown to improve mental wellness and if you know woodworking, you know that it is complex and not always easy to learn by just watching YouTube. Especially when someone has a diagnosis or disability. We want to break that barrier and

help more individuals learn woodworking and thus improve their mental wellness. The next big step for Plane Wellness is to acquire land and build a facility where we can host students for woodworking retreats. We want to give them a chance to take a break from their normal day to day and spend time with others, woodworking, learning, and improving their mental wellness in a therapeutic, in-nature, environment. This will not only help them discover and enjoy woodworking but it will also help them “break the ice” and meet friends with similar interests.

Take a look at this map. 🗺️ This isn’t just a guest list; it’s a movement.

While Pennsylvania is our home base, the craft is calling from every corner of the country! From the forests of the Pacific Northwest to the sunny beaches of Florida, woodworkers are making the pilgrimage to Prospect, PA this May.

Whether you’re coming from right down the road in Butler or flying across three time zones, you’re part of a community that values woodworking, hand tools, and mental wellness.

Why is everyone traveling to Hand Tool Haven?
✨ Vendors selling some of the world's best tools.
✨ Expert demos that you can't find on YouTube.
✨ A community of makers that feels like family.

See a blue state on the map? That means your neighbors are already coming. Don't let them have all the fun!
