Woodworking Class: Ladder Shelf

Join this class in West Byfleet to build an attractive ladder shelf - a modern twist on the old-fashioned bookcase.



8 hours Class size 1 to 6 guests       £200 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

In this woodworking class in Surrey, you'll create a ladder shelf, a modern twist on the traditional bookcase. This project will teach you how to mark and cut out dados that support each shelf.
Don't worry if you're new to woodworking! The class is designed to be beginner-friendly, with step-by-step guidance provided throughout the activity.
What to expect:
  • You'll work with a variety of materials, including wood pieces for the shelves and tools such as the router table and mitre saw.
  • Marking and measuring accurately.
  • Creating dados and profiles with the router.
  • Cutting precise mitres for shelf sides.
  • Joining wood sections together using the jointer.
  • Gluing up and assembling your ladder shelf.
By the end of the workshop, you'll not only have honed your woodworking skills but also have a beautiful ladder shelf to take home. You can choose to finish the assembly at home if transport is a concern, making it convenient for everyone.
Dimensions: 1.8m x 540mm x 400mm
Glue up and assembly
There is an option to not complete the final glue-up in the workshop and instead take the pieces home for final assembly later. Instead of glueing, the shelves can be screwed in place and then removed for transport. This may be required for people who do not have a vehicle big enough to take the piece fully assembled.
