An introduction to practical timber repairs
Tuesday 16 to Thursday 18 July 2024
Three practical days introducing students to a range of timber repairs. The course will include the approach to timber frame conservation, the use of hand and portable power tools. We will be looking at the use of fresh-sawn, semi-seasoned and air-dried oak and their pros and cons, along with an overview of metal straps, plates and fixings. A variety of repairs around the Museum provide further examples, and also show the effects of time. The practical exercises focus on inserting and repairing timbers of standing, rather than dismantled frames.
