Overview

Don’t become buried under all of your knick-knacks and crafting supplies. Keep your space organized and efficient with homemade shelving! For the Shelving Contest, we want you to share your shelving assemblies and fabrications. Traditional or unconventional; we want to see it all!

Showcase your treasures with shelving and you could win a Sliding Compound Miter Saw, Roto Saw, or Sprial Saw Kit, or Dremel kit. Also, the most unusual shelving project will be getting a special judges’ prize! So if you are inclined towards the more outlandish, don’t hold back!
