We started raising two of our timber frames this week! Our second-year students travelled deep into the woods of Lanark and were welcomed with generous hospitality from the frames new owners. One of the frames is going to be used as a guest house, and the other will be a woodworking addition to a garage. Stay tuned for more pictures coming next week! #heritagecarpentry #timberframes #barnraising

In true traditional fashion, Chris used a wooden moulding plane to shape the bead stops for his window. Just look at those shavings! #heritagecarpentry #traditional #woodworking

"Who needs a router?" said Dustin as he used a scratch stock to form the bead stops for his window. Nice work, Dustin! #heritagecarpentry #traditional #oldschool

Our thanks to Derek and the crew at Gibson Timber Frames for hosting us at their shop in Brockville yesterday! We got to see some gorgeous joinery and learn about the design process. And, it gave us a chance to catch up with Heritage Carpentry and Joinery graduates Luke, Dan and Todd, who all work at Gibson now. Be sure to check out Gibsons Instagram page: gibsontimberframes

As we get ready to start building traditional, double-hung windows, our students know that a successful project depends largely on planning and preparation. #heritagecarpentry #measuretwicecutonce

Our second-year students are putting the final touches on their first major project of the year: traditional wooden doors. Like most of our projects, the doors can be built with traditional hand tools, contemporary machines, or a combination of both.

Some excellent work being done in Traditional Doors by one of our second-year groups #heritagecarpentry #traditionalwoodworking

The first of many fun events going on at our campus this year!
