New Study: Heritage Carpentry


Life has changed a lot over the past year. I am back in Ontario temporarily and am taking a Heritage Carpentry course. It has allowed me to develope my long-standing interest in architecture, construction, woodworking, and design. I unfortunately suffered a hard-drive corruption recently and have lost my photos of my work over the past year and a half, but I may be able to salvage a few from other people to show what I have been working on. The more interesting photos are soon to come with projects pertaining to windows, mantle pieces, doors, and architectural feature reproduction. This is a timber frame 12' x 24' structure that I helped build in the fall. I paired a rafter and cut a brace using framing squares, a jack plane, framing chisel, mallet, and chain mortiser.
