This five-day course will immerse you into the delight of mediaeval timber framed construction.
Based at the woodland classroom set in an idyllic seven-acre woodland all aspects of framing will be covered to produce a box frame of a structure to be used as a utility building within the woods.
Working from a scale drawing you’ll learn frame layups, facing of timbers, square rule, rotation and level marks and scribe rule. Then the actual cutting of joints, draw boring and trial assembly.
Using a shave horse and drawknife you’ll get the chance to make oak draw pegs which will be used to fasten the various joints of the box frame.
Time permitting, you’ll have the opportunity to hand convert/hew an oak post from the round. Hewing is currently listed as endangered on the Heritage Crafts Red List.
Throughout the five days there’ll be lots of opportunity for discussion.
