October 26 @ 9:00 am - October 31 @ 5:00 pm
In this six-day timber framing course you will learn the basics of timber frame construction, using the square-rule method and working from a set of shop drawings. You will have hands-on learning and will gain the knowledge to build your own timber frame. You will learn square rule layout, the proper use of power and hand tools and we will be raising the building at the end of the course.
We will build a 16′ x 20′ 3 bent building complete with ½ loft. This building can be used for a bunkie or shed. You will learn how to layout and cut all components of the frame. This will include tie beams, posts, knee braces, rafter plates and rafters.
