Our July workshop was a great success. Led by Toby Hargreaves and Mia Norton, we had a full crew of 10 enthusiastic students. The team jumped right in and cut out a 20 foot by 15 foot frame with all hand tools including scribed log joinery, wedged through tenons, and 28 rafter scarf joints. Instruction was both one on one, and in group sessions, and students soaked up the new information, asked pointed questions, and shared their own insights. We finished out the week with a pizza party on the beach, and of course the beam raising where everyone saw the pieces they had been carefully shaping all week come together in a matter of a few hours. Thank you to everyone who attended and we’re looking forward to the next opportunity for a timberframing workshop!
