Timber Framing Taster: Build a Set of Timber Frame Sawhorses
Date: October 4 to 5
Cost: $300
Get a taste of the craft of timber framing with a small project which is big on learning. This two day workshop is a great starting point to learn timber framing basics. The skills covered focus on the use of layout, essential tools, sharpening and jigs; participants will also have the opportunity to use a variety of tools to cut mortise and tenon joinery.
Sawhorses pack a lot of practice into a small footprint! The goal of course is that every student will go home with a fully assembled sawhorse and possibly another; it may be necessary to finish the second at home or arrange some extra time at the workshop.

Jump in with both feet in our Timber Framing Intensive course. This three week course is a comprehensive introduction to timber framing. We will lay out and cut the joinery for a complete cabin and raise it on the last day.
