Our Green Oak courses help you build up knowledge, skills and muscle – in a friendly, supportive environment. Our small group size (6 maximum) ensures you get lots of attention and tuition.
Become more knowledgeable about traditional framing methods. Develop practical, carpentry skills that utilize hand tools instead of machines. Work on a project where you’ll be able to see the results of your training, and make a lasting difference in the restoration of a 17th century barn.
Courses will be mainly practical with each participant given individual attention to enable them to feel fully confident and comfortable using hand tools and techniques for traditional methods.
Suitable for those with some carpentry experience. Reading list available – please ask. Each day will contain one to two hours of theory, plenty of practical demonstrations and hands on experience. There will be ample time to ask questions and discuss your own timber frame project or career development in Green Oak Carpentry.
ONLY £400 for your 5-day course
