"Je fais" means "I am making".

je besoin une nouvelle étagère. Im sure i have probably already read the answer to this but it didnt stick. Why not je besoin?

"Besoin" is a noun. The construction is:

  • conjugated avoir + besoin + de + whatever is needed

So it's "J'ai besoin d'une nouvelle étagère."
