About this Class
This hands-on class is designed to teach students the fundamentals of structural timber framing. This workshop is designed for people to easily grasp, understand, and later apply their newly gained knowledge and experience at home. Students will team build a pre-designed outdoor timbered gazebo on the MASW campus. Students will learn how to lay out all the timbers and joinery by easily and simply drawing the gazebo to full size on the floor, no math required! Patrick encourages students to come and learn a millennia-old tradition of carpentry and participate in the construction of what will become a timeless part of MASW history. By the end of the week students will leave with confidence and knowledge to tackle any backyard shelter or timber framed structure at home with success.
