"What was the most valuable part of the course? "Getting to learn from two masters. I only wish there was more time to delve into the subject, from the cutting procedure and joinery choices to closing-in methods"
A TIMBER FRAMER S WORKSHOP PROFESSIONAL
Being able to ask questions and pick the brains of experienced and professional timber framers is something that a book cannot provide. "The hands on experience of cutting and raising a frame is invaluable. This course will focus on traditional hand-cut joinery and tools and will also demonstrate some of the power tools used by modern timber framers. We will also cover frame design, joinery choices, and integration of frame and house design. Evening lectures will address the history of the craft, finishing techniques, and mechanical systems for timber frame houses. Students will learn layout techniques, tool use and sharpening, and joinery cutting methods as we work on a small timber frame project, culminating in a raising on the final day.
Experience the fundamentals of designing and constructing a timber frame using mortise and tenon joinery.
Over the last two decades, the historic craft of timber framing in residential construction has experienced a revival. NOTE: The March 2023 session of this course takes place on our Bluff, UT campus.
