TIMBER FRAMING WORKSHOP
Learn to Timber Frame
We offer Timber Frame workshops that focus on teaching beginners the skills they will need to build a small timber framed structure. Star Hill Timberworks teaches a number of workshops throughout the year, check out the event section for current offerings. In our workshops we ensure that students acquire the skills and confidence such that at the completion of the workshop they are able to build their own timber framed structure. We also offer hosting opportunities and private timber framing instruction.
Workshop duration runs from three days for a basic sawhorse or mailbox build to five days for a small structure build.
We encourage students to purchase a 1 1/2" chisel and a timber framing layout tool. We can help you with sourcing. For those that are not able acquire these tools, we have loaners.
