Shelter is committed to working with our clients to create effective homes. We offer fine woodworking tools, Design Build services, real estate, and accredited classes in homebuilding. At Shelter, we have been evolving durable, adaptable, energy-conscious building techniques since 1974.
If it is for sale in our store -- it is because we use it and love it! We are happy to share our experiences with these tools which may enhance your own. Given care, maintenance, and love, each of these fine tools is capable of lasting a lifetime. We do limit warranties to those offered by our supplying manufacturers. If ever you have a question or concern regarding any of the tools we sell, please let us know. These tools, toys and supplies are in constant use by our students, timber framing crews, and family.
The Shelter Design Build Crew is at it again. They prepped the existing structure for the addition yesterday and raised the frame today. The panels, windows, doors and metal roofing will be installed next week. As a design build company, we take a truly integrated approach to the design, engineering, fabrication and raising of your structure. In our 38-year history as teachers and builders of fine post and beam homes and barns, we have continued to refine all aspects of our process to provide you with the most efficient structures, most beautifully.

Our home had to be desert-adapted, but it was the wonderful knowledge we gained from our 3-week course that gave us confidence and propelled us into homebuilding. We used almost every technique we learned at the SI to produce success.
Nothing says I love you like a SoloStove Firepit -- you can "start a fire in it" your "flames of love" will surely show your beloved how you feel . . . things will "heat up" . . . . . the idioms are irresistible. We have them all in stock and you can create that candlelit dinner outside at home this...
Nothing says "I love you" for Valentine's Day like a cozy winter hat from your favorite tool store! This black knit beanie is Pat Hennin 's go-to winter hat but we added a cozy fleece lining for added comfort and warmth. Show your valentine how much you love them by picking one up in the store, or...
