DIY: Building a Wooden Shelf with Basic Tools

30 December 2025

Building a wooden shelf is an excellent start for DIY beginners. You need basic tools: saw, drill, screwdriver, and measuring tape.

First, measure and mark the dimensions you want. Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the cutting lines.

Cut the wooden panels to the desired size using a saw. Make sure the corners are straight and the cuts are clean.

Use a drill to make holes for the screws. Place the panels together and secure them with screws. Finally, sand the surfaces with sandpaper.
