SUMMARY:the star hill method: founder timber framing immersion
DESCRIPTION:founder immersion\nlearn the star hill method through direct instruction from jon anderson\, founder of star hill timberworks. \n5 days | ellsworth\, wisconsin \nlimited to 4 students \nmany people want to build a timber frame.\nmost don’t know where to start. \ncommon questions we hear: \n\nwhere do i begin?\nwhat tools do i actually need?\ndo i need to be good at math?\nhow do i know i’m doing it right?\n\nthis immersion answers those questions through direct experience. \nyou don’t just learn how timber frames are built. \nyou work alongside the founder of star hill timberworks\, helping build a real timber frame while developing the skills\, confidence\, and understanding needed to continue the journey on your own. \n4 students. one founder. one timber frame.\nenrollment is intentionally limited to four students. \ninstruction is provided personally by jon anderson throughout the week. \nevery student participates. \nevery question gets answered. \nevery layout line gets reviewed. \nthis isn’t a demonstration. \nit’s a working project. \nthe small class size allows instruction to adapt to your goals and interests. \nwhether you’re planning a cabin\, a home\, a shop\, or simply want to understand timber framing at a deeper level\, you’ll have direct access to the founder throughout the week. \nobjective-based learning\nthis immersion follows an objective-based learning model developed through decades of teaching\, building\, and workforce development. \nstudents progress through a series of activities designed to build capability through direct experience. \nactivities may include: \n\nsafety\nsharpening\nmeasurement & verification\ntool qualification\nplan reading\nthe star hill method\nlayout\nmortises\ntenons\nhousings\nreductions\nverification\npegging\nraising\n\neach activity has a clear objective and completion standard. \nthe goal is not simply to cover material. \nthe goal is to develop capability. \nthe star hill method\nthis immersion is built around the star hill method\, a practical approach to timber framing developed through years of designing\, cutting\, teaching\, and raising timber frames. \nthe method is built around a simple belief: \ntimber framing should be understandable. \nmany people assume timber framing requires advanced math\, complicated geometry\, or years of experience before they can begin. \nour experience has been different. \nwhen the process is clear\, the work becomes approachable. \nthe star hill method provides: \n\na clear sequence from first timber to raising\nphysical references instead of constant calculation\nrepeatable layout and joinery processes\nsystems that reduce uncertainty and increase confidence\na framework that helps students understand why things work\, not simply how\n\nthroughout the week you’ll learn the thinking behind the method\, not just the steps. \nthe goal isn’t to teach you how to build one timber frame. \nthe goal is to teach you how to approach future timber frames with confidence. \nthe star hill layout system\nevery student receives the star hill layout system as part of their tuition. \nthe system includes: \n\nezl\nezb\nezt\n\nmanufactured from stainless steel and designed for long-term shop use\, the layout system is the same system used daily at star hill timberworks. \nrather than relying on calculations or complex geometry\, the system provides physical references that allow students to transfer information directly to the timber with speed\, consistency\, and accuracy. \nused together\, the star hill method and the star hill layout system create a workflow that helps students focus on understanding timber framing rather than fighting through unnecessary complexity. \nstudents keep their layout system following the immersion. \nbuild something real\nthis is not a bench class. \nnearly all of your time is spent working on a full timber frame structure. \nstudents participate in: \n\nfull layout\njoinery layout\ncutting and fitting\nassembly and adjustment\nraising as a crew\n\neverything you cut is part of the frame. \nstanding inside a structure you helped build changes what you believe you’re capable of. \ntools & workflow\ntimber framing isn’t one thing\, and we don’t teach it as such. \nduring the immersion\, students are exposed to: \n\ntraditional hand-tool timber framing\nmid-level power-tool workflows\nproduction-oriented power-tool systems\n\nthe goal isn’t to tell you what tools to buy. \nthe goal is to help you understand why you would choose one approach over another. \nby the end of the week\, students aren’t guessing about tools. \nthey leave knowing: \n\nwhich tools matter for their goals\nwhich tools can wait\nhow different tools affect workflow\, accuracy\, and pace\n\ntuition & registration\ntuition for the star hill method: timber framing immersion is $3\,000. \nregistration requires a non-refundable $700 reservation payment. \nthe reservation payment secures your seat in the immersion. \nthe remaining balance is due 30 days before the start date. \ntuition includes\n\nfive days of founder-led instruction\nparticipation in a full timber frame build\ninstruction in the star hill method\nstar hill layout system\n\nezl\nezb\nezt\n\n\ndigital timber framing practices manual\ndigital class plans\nlunch each day\n\nadditional package options are available for students who wish to include edge systems\, cutting systems\, manuals\, and other tools with their registration. \nticket options\nimmersion\n$3\,000 \nincludes: \n\nfive days of founder-led instruction\nparticipation in a full timber frame build\nstar hill layout system\n\nezl\nezb\nezt\n\n\ndigital timber framing practices manual\ndigital class plans\nlunch each day\n\nimmersion + beginner edge system\n$3\,539 \nincludes: \n\neverything in immersion\nbeginner edge system\n\nimmersion + full edge system\n$4\,075 \nincludes: \n\neverything in immersion\nfull edge system\n\nimmersion + cutting system\n$3\,293 \nincludes: \n\neverything in immersion\ncutting

leave inspired. \nthey leave capable. \nyou walk away with: \n\nexperience working on a real timber frame structure\nan understanding of the star hill method\nhands-on experience using the star hill layout system\na workflow you trust and can repeat\nclarity around tools\, methods\, and next steps\nconfidence that comes from having done the work\n\nfor many students\, this is the moment when building a timber frame stops being a dream and starts becoming a plan. \n4 students. \none founder. \none timber frame. \nthe star hill method. \nbuild • remember • repeat \njon anderson\nfounder\,
