Oak timber framing: Roof framing
Monday 20 to Friday 24 October 2025
The workshop is designed to enable students to frame both a gable and a hipped roof over two simple frames constructed on two previous oak timber framing workshops. It covers the lining out, cutting and fitting of common, principal, hip and jack rafters.
The tools and techniques introduced in this workshop are suitable for both new build and repair work.
The workshop aims to develop the students’ knowledge and experience to the specific problems facing the historic carpenter framing with “wet” or “green” oak and introduces solutions to framing timbers together to ensure the correct lengths, bevels and allowances. A range of tools will be demonstrated to illustrate those used today and in the past.
