ROUND POLE Framing ~ The Basics
Love to have more direct connection with nature ?
This is an opportunity to enjoy being in a beautiful wooded 50 acre setting and learn the principles of round pole construction and experience some basic hands-on techniques.
Tour the thatched roofs & round pole structures on site. then harvest wood, and use hand tools to create a small team project using several types of notching, make a wooden mallet to take home. You will be given complimentary e-handouts via google docs that will include basic notches and simple designs! No experience necessary. Bring a lunch & dress for working indoors and being outdoors as well! (You can bring your own chisels if you wish!)
