Framing with heavy timber is within your reach!  

For the 13th year in a row, we are pleased to continue to share the tradition of timber joinery. In this introductory course, students will learn the fundamentals of design and construction of small timber frame structures using mortise and tenon joinery through shouldered bracing.  

Students will be introduced to layout techniques, tool use, and options for joinery cutting methods. This class will primarily focus on hand-cut joinery and tools but will also demonstrate power tools and techniques used by modern timber framers. Tools & materials provided.

This 2 day intensive experience is physically demanding and requires lifting several hundred pound timbers with friends. We will be working outside weather permitting.
