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. One of the more complicated joints in this frame is the Thru Mortise, which has multiple slants and angles that help lock the beam & post together. In this video, Gaius & Gabe will walk through the whole joint using a full-scale model, explaining the best order for cutting an accurate thru mortise, and how it fits together with its corresponding Thru Tenon.
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.
