and Dave Carlon.

Recently I saw Dave Carlon who teaches with Jack Sobon at the Hancock Shaker Village in western MA at Heartwood school. And I asked him how many openings did he have for this September's class.



Jack Sobon has just emailed me that they still have 8 opening for this month's class that begins on Wednesday, September the 25th, 2013 and run 5 days to Sunday the 29th when they will raise the frame that the students have cut.

I have taken this course and it is a great way to learn timber framing, by doing all the joinery with hand tools only. NO power tools at all.

Attached is a pdf file which is a flier and registration form about the course including the costs ($480). This is one of the best deals going.

I will be there on Friday morning.

If you sign up be sure to tell them you heard about it here on the Forestry Forum.

No, only once a year in September. That's it with Jack and Dave. They have been teaching this class every year since 1985 or so.

When I when there I stayed in a camping trailer at a nearby state run campground for $10 a night. Now I think the same campground is up to about $15 per night.
If someone wanted a link to that campground I think I could find it. There are nearby motels as well.

$480?  That is a very cheap price to pay relative to the amount of knowledge and experience you'd get with those two instructors!

If it was only closer, and my schedule a bit more open, I would love to take that class.
I cut it twice and it's still too short

No, however, Jack has a really great book that you may be interested in if you haven't purchased it already.
