Lasercutting: Making a Shelf

Instructor: Bryan

Get an introduction to laser cutting while making a small wooden shelf. Learn how laser-cut pieces fit together to create a useful object, with guidance on the process and safe equipment use.

The finished shelf is intended for lightweight items such as small spice jars or trinkets. No previous laser-cutting experience is needed.

This workshop counts toward your initial laser-cutter training. You’ll need to return for a separate final check-off before using the laser cutter independently.
