Tiered Leaning Plant Shelves Woodworking Class

With Sineah McGrady

*You do not need to take any of our Woodworking Fundamentals classes including Woodworking I, II, or III in order to take this class. No experience is required.

Build a ladder shelf like you would find in West Elm at a fraction of the cost. Get a basic understanding of tools in the woodshop like the table saw, chop saw and more. Learn pocket hole joinery, a technique for hiding your screws. All skill levels are welcome from total beginner to advanced.

These shelves are great for books, collectibles, trophies and more! These projects are designed with the DIYer in mind. You will leave class with a better understanding of tool safety and build techniques to inspire your next project.

You will build a 3 tiered shelf, 4 feet tall and 18” wide. By the end of class, it is my intention you can demonstrate confidence in using the following tools: Miter Saw, Kreg Jig, Drill/ Impact Driver, Table Saw, and Orbital Sanders, Router Table and Nail Gun.

About the Teacher

Sineah has been teaching beginner woodworking classes at the Denver Tool Library since 2018. She grew up in Maine, constantly curious to do things independently. After moving to Denver in 2016, Sineah discovered the Tool Library and soon after began encouraging others to safely use tools and build things with their own hands. She started teaching friends in her own backyard until we opened up the workshop. She has taught stool/ plant stand, bookshelf, leaning shelf, cutting board workshops and more. Sineah will encourage you to creatively problem solve and by the end of class, will send you home with a project intended to impress your friends and yourself.
