timberframe!

yestermorrow class
frame close up

i'm back from yestermorrow, the design build school in waitsfield, vermont. pictured is the frame we built and erected at the knoll farm, also in waitsfield. i came away from the class feeling awe and appreciation for the power of working by hand. eleven of us, novices, cut the frame in five days with the help of two excellent instructors, josh jackson and skip dewhirst. it tooks us just a couple hours to erect it on the site and despite all our little mistakes it went together beautifully. i've put more pictures and an expanded description of the course on another blog that i keep here.
