A long-overdue update

Having completed all wall panels and the vast majority of roof rafters, students are now working on the Douglas fir timber frame. They are using traditional frame-building techniques to cut large scale joints.

During the Easter break many students will be attending a week-long frame-building camp to keep progress ticking over, before the garage is demolished at the start of the summer term to make room for the frame and walls.

See below for images of Hamza at work with an antique drilling rig, and Luke and Ricardo making good use of a large cross cut saw.

Well done team and keep up the good work!
