In this workshop, participants will learn how to line out, scribe, cut and fit braces and studs to a simple frame constructed during a previous workshop.

It will include demonstrations on how to use power tools as well as hand tools and aims to develop students’ knowledge and experience in dealing with the problems faced by carpenters framing with ‘wet’ or ‘green’ oak in the past. You will learn how to frame timbers together to ensure the correct lengths, bevels and allowances, and gain experience in plumb bob scribing, chalk line and spirit level layout.
