Craig and Jim Thomson
Mr. James Thomson of Thomson Timber in Scotland, and his son, Craig will again be the main instructors.
The work will cover as many aspects of a TF Project that we can incorporate into the 4 day Wall Framing class or the 5 day Roof Framing class as possible.
We will cover joint design, layout, timber sizing and preparation. Making Go/No-Go gauges so that every mortise and every tenon fits perfectly.
Tool selection and usage is a big part of this class. Professional tools like the Makita power mortiser and framing chisels by Quenton Barr are used in the class and are available.
A list of suggested tools can be found here.
