In both our in-person and Online Purely Post-And-Beam timber framing courses, we use a 24' x 24’ Class Timber Frame to teach you all the basic joints you will need to build your own timber frame structure.
A Half Lap joint might be the most simple timber frame joint used in our Class Frame, which is used to connect two rafters together as part of the roof structure. In this sample video, Gaius will walk through the cutting of a Half Lap using a Skilsaw Super Sawsquatch 16" Beam Saw and its Skilsaw baby brother, and finally slicking it square.
For those who can make it to Maine, our in-person Purely Post-and-Beam class would be the best way to learn timber framing. But we understand that not everyone has the ability to drop everything for a week to come to our campus in Woolwich, Maine to do so. We fully believe this is the next-best thing and that YES, you can truly learn how to timber frame with the help of this online course!
We have worked hard to compile every last bit of content from our in-person course and put it in an easily digestible, video-by-video, online format. And not only that, but we’ve also tried to anticipate every question that you might ask as a student of our online course, since you don’t have the luxury of asking an instructor during class.
After completing this course, you will go from potentially knowing nearly nothing about timber framing to becoming confident and competent enough to build your own timber frame structure.
