Somewhere near Madinaguda where a 7 year old can build things with real tools?

Our elder son takes apart anything with a screw in it. So far a torch, a remote and the back of a wall clock. He puts them back together about half the time. I'd like to channel this into something with supervision: a weekend carpentry, tinkering or 'make things' class where children use real, child-sized tools. Robotics kits are not quite what I mean; he wants to saw and hammer. Is there anything like that around Madinaguda, Chandanagar or Miyapur? If not, what have others done at home that was safe enough?

    My daughter did a weekend tinkering class at a makerspace in Banjara Hills last year, saws, hand drills and glue guns with an instructor watching closely. I'm not sure it still runs, and it is a long way from Madinaguda. At home we gave her an old switchboard and a small screwdriver set, and she spent a month taking it apart and labelling the pieces. Cheaper, and nothing to drive to.
