Wall fixings and fitting a shelf

BEGINNER AND INTERMEDIATE

HALF DAY CLASS

You will insert different fixings into plasterboard, timber stud, and brick and install a shelf bracket in a plasterboard wall. Learning the skills to do this in your home can save you money and help you build confidence to tackle other DIY tasks.

The Great British Woodshop practical series classes are a good follow-on from our Skills Classes where you can take the knowledge you have learned and put it to practical use in a more targeted or focused way.

  • Use the drill to install different types of hollow wall fixings into a plasterboard wall
  • Use the drill to install plugs into brick
  • Dealing with shelves and uneven walls
  • Fit wall brackets into the stud work and the hollow wall anchors
  • Use a level to make sure your brackets are both plumb and level
  • Install your shelf and secure it

I decided to put myself on a basic DIY course while on redundancy to make good use of my time. I’ve done bits and pieces of DIY before but never really knew the proper basics and wanted to increase my confidence. I’ve started with the drilling and shelf fitting course and will definitely be back for more (& will bring my children too). Really patient instructor with a huge (& thankfully warm) workshop who took me right back to basics and gave me a full grounding in the different fittings etc for different walls. Plenty of time to watch and then put into practice and so I now feel fully equipped to tackle my own projects. Gave me lots of tips on good tools to buy etc too. Looking forward to joining other courses in the future.

"I had a great day learning new skills. I got lucky and has some really friendly people on the course and great instruction from David, really knowledgably and insightful approach to the craft of woodworking. A highly recommended course for those exploring a new hobby or wanting to develop and enhance their knowledge."
