This 2-day course is designed for students who seek experience in building timber frame structures. Participants will learn and assist in the construction of a square rule, post-and-beam timber frame structure on the HRMM campus. The group will construct mortise and tenon joints and join the structural frames. This course is suitable for both beginners and more advanced students wishing to strengthen their skills. This class takes place in the shop at the HRMM Wooden Boat School located at 50 Rondout Landing in Kingston, NY 12401. 

The Wooden Boat School was founded by the Hudson River Maritime Museum in 2015 to preserve the maritime craft traditions of the Hudson Valley and to teach a hands-on interpretation of the living history of the Hudson River. The school offers diverse curriculum and opportunities which inspire skills in woodworking, boat building, and maritime craft. Also available are restoration services for wooden boats. A class calendar and details can be found at www.hrmm.org/woodworking.
