How to Build a Shelf

You can build a shelf…it will feel so satisfying! This guide is for all skill levels and walks you through every step in the process, including how to choose lumber. You’ll notice that most of the people in the photos are women. That’s because we offer several sessions every year of basic carpentry classes for women only. But if you’re not a woman, don’t worry! We’ve got a fabulous building class that’s co-ed too; it focuses on tiny house construction (so students get to learn the whole process of building a house), and includes natural building techniques as well.
