5 Day Course: Cost - £300. Deposit - £150.

Monday 23rd to Friday 27th March 2026

Come on a five day course and learn about traditional timber-framing techniques in an informal atmosphere.

The course is run by Ron Smith an experienced timber frame builder, and is suitable for all skill levels, from novice woodworker to those with experience in joinery or carpentry.

During the week we will be covering many aspects of timber-frame building and you will get the chance to make and fit your own mortice and tenon joints, whittle pegs on the shave-horse, learn about draw bores, scribing, diminished haunch and scarf joints.

On the final day we will be raising the frame, always the highlight of the course.

On this course you will be provided with a mid-day meal on each day.
