# Build Projects

There are projects from basic to advanced that could take anywhere from a couple of afternoons to a full semester depending on how busy the workshop is and how much time you have to spend making.

We see students coming in wanting to rush these extracurricular projects but if you take your time and follow all the steps your finished piece could last decades.
