| TIMBER FRAMING
July 6th- 17th. We will be constructing a 30’ by
30’
Timber Frame octagon using a combination of square dimensional timber
and naturally curved round timber which has been gathered within a half
mile of the workshop site using horses. We will cover design
and hand
layout methods for both round and square timber to produce perfect
joinery and instill a sense of craftsmanship in all our
students. We
will also go through the steps for laying out and executing compound
roof framing using natural joinery. |
|
We encourage all
seeking a desire for change in the world by starting
right at home! This 14 day intensive will give the tools for all
aspects of the building process so you walk away empowered for the
green revolution. No skipped steps, all details divulged, you'll leave
ready to create healthy, green and everlasting dwellings.
Experience handcrafting! No matter what
your profession.
