the creating of an actual home, barn, gazebo, carport, shed or playhouse. Some
frames are sold as “student build” to the public.

The goal of Murray Timber
Framing workshops is:
During each workshop an
effort is made to expose the students to as much of the timber framing process
as possible. Regrettably we can not guarantee exposure to every aspect of
timber framing in one short week. Students work on the project at hand and
carry it as far as possible. Where the schedule allows, a raising is part of
the workshop.

Mark Olson is the primary
instructor for Murray Timber Framing. Mark is a mechanical engineer who has
been drawn to timber framing. Mark has trained and worked in timber frame
shops in eastern and western USA, Denmark and England. He learned the square
rule method of layout in America and the scribe rule method of layout in
Europe. Hands-on participation in projects from design through to raising
with diverse groups of people has given him some insight into this process we
call timber framing. "Knowing different ways of doing something gives a
person flexibility to choose the technique that works best for the job at
hand." Over the years he has instructed several hundred students and
apprentices. |
