Suffolk College Construction students learn how to use traditional
tree to timber carpentry tools.
They discovered that our two person cross
cut saw was very effective at cutting lengths of Sweet Chestnut logs
which they also learnt how to split and make into battens for our Long
House roof.
Using the two person saw also provided a
good green gym workout and a big lesson in co-ordination, collaboration
and communication.
Pull. Don't push!
It was a very constructive two days of
practical training for 23
students.
Thank-you to Bury Town Trust
for sponsoring these Heritage Construction skills days.
