There’s a great oak timber framing course coming up later in the year.

This five day course is organised by Woodnet and Plumpton College at
Flimwell.  It is aimed at those interested in learning how to construct an oak framed building.  This is a practical hands-on course with participants working together to construct and erect an 8ft by 10ft frame with a roof. You will learn the main skills required to lay out the frame, mark and cut the joints, construct the roof, make the pegs, and erect the frame. The course uses hand tools with demonstration of the use of power tools and is held in the workshop at Flimwell.

The tutors Chris Nutley and Will English of ‘Sussex Oak Framers’ will guide
you through the week, teaching you the practical skills and explaining the stages in planning and managing a timber frame project.

The next 5 day course runs from Monday 25 October until Friday 29 October
