Work in a professional shop with a community of woodworkers.

After eight years in the fashion district of DTLA, Allied Woodshop has moved! Our new address is 4160 Whiteside Street, Los Angeles, CA 90063 in East Los Angeles, near Cal State LA. We now have 24/7 access and on-site parking with roll-up doors, allowing our members to continue growing their woodworking businesses.

Each member has personal storage space and access to all tools. Large skylights and roll-up doors provide abundant natural light throughout the shop. All large tools are cast iron - in excellent condition and well maintained - the table saws are Sawstops, and the handheld power tools are Festool. We welcome experienced woodworkers at any stage in their career. Still figuring out how to go into business as a woodworker? Allied is the perfect place to work on your skills and get advice from colleagues without making a large financial investment.

Our shop is designed for working with domestic hard woods. If you use primarily sheet goods, soft woods, or exotic woods, we are probably not the best fit for you. Occasional use of these materials is permitted, but our shop tech must be consulted to ensure proper machine care and to address any health concerns.
