Off to a great start with Week 2 of our Introduction to Timber Framing Course! 🌲

We kicked things off yesterday with some sharpening demonstrations then got right in to cutting knee braces! All of the braces have been cut and now we’re moving on to plates and beams!

We had Dean pop by for the afternoon to give a guest lesson on a specific rafter saddle notch, thanks again for coming by Dean!! Week 2 is off to a great start, stay tuned for the end of the week for when we raise the full structure!
