A hand-crafted shelf that uses ball bearings and the magic of gravity to hold all of your holiday cards!

Well, we are on the downhill slope of the year. All that's left is the holiday months. Now where did you put all those decorations and where are you going to put them this year? You can’t just put them in the same old place where you had them last year. Well in this 2 part class I’m going to teach you how to take a couple pieces of hardwood, some random ball bearings, and a bunch of tools to make what is called a gravity shelf, that's just a shelf that also allows you to hang things, like holiday cards, along the bottom. You are going to use the table saw and miter saw to cut boards into size and shape, the drill to learn how to dowel wood together, and you might even learn a little bit about different types of wood finish. After you bring your shelf home its going to look so nice you won’t want to put it away and you’ll have it out all year round.


What You’ll Learn:

  • How to use the table saw to cut your wood to size
  • How to dowel wood together
  • How to sand, smooth, sharpen, and finish your project.
