Course content

The course is based on the course TBBY1010 introduction to carpentry.

Through own work, collaboration in groups with guidance, the student will gain experience of going deeper into narrower topics in traditional carpentry. The teaching is collection-based and often linked to specific projects that are relevant.

We can consider some of the different parts of log houses, such as floors / floor joists, roof constructions, roofing, combination buildings with horizontal timber and poles, foundation wall / foundation and the like. We can also focus on specific local / regional carpentry traditions, historic log houses or different types of tools / technology.

Relevant restoration projects can be included as part of the course.
