Building: An A-frame Side Stool

Join us for an engaging hands-on workshop at SF Duka, where you’ll learn how to build a sleek, modern A-Frame Side Stool from scratch! With guidance from our skilled instructors, you’ll take raw materials and transform them into a beautiful, functional piece of furniture that’s perfect for any space in your home.

In this workshop, you’ll assemble an A-Frame stool using premium hardwood, perfecting essential woodworking techniques along the way. The A-Frame design is minimal yet striking, with clean lines and sturdy construction that makes it a versatile addition to your living room, bedroom, or workspace.

Whether you’re new to DIY or a seasoned maker, we’ll provide you with all the tools, materials, and support you need to successfully complete your build. By the end of the day, you’ll take home your very own handcrafted side stool—designed and built by you!

What to Expect:

  • Step-by-step instructions: From measuring and cutting the wooden legs to joining and sanding, we’ll guide you through every stage of the build process.
  • Customization options: Choose to leave your stool’s wood in its natural state or add a personal touch with your choice of stain.
  • Hands-on experience: Learn and practice essential woodworking skills in a fun, supportive environment.
  • Lunch & Snacks Provided: Enjoy a delicious lunch and light snacks throughout the day to keep you energized and focused.
  • Games & Activities: Take breaks to unwind with our selection of fun games, including giant Jenga, bag toss/cornhole, ring toss, and giant tic-tac-toe.

What’s Included:

  • All the necessary materials, tools, and safety equipment.
  • Refreshments and a full lunch.
  • An exclusive S|F Duka stamp on your completed piece to commemorate your craftsmanship!

Spaces are limited, so secure your spot today! Experience the satisfaction of building your own A-Frame side stool while enjoying a day filled with good food, great company, and lots of fun!
