This 4-day Introduction to Preservation Carpentry workshop will teach participants the fundamental skills necessary to undertake a preservation carpentry project on one of the many historic structures at the Village. This workshop will follow the Conservation Assessment Bootcamp held in May and build on the diagnostic skills acquired in the Bootcamp. Utilizing the preservation priorities determined in the Bootcamp, participants will plan and undertake a carpentry project that will aid the Foundation in preserving the Village.
The Carpentry program can be taken as an extension of the Bootcamp or as a stand-alone program. In tandem with the Bootcamp, the workshop will empower participants to bring their knowledge from the classroom to the field to the work bench. This soup to nuts approach will give the less experienced a snapshot of the work to determine if it is the right career for them, to give historic home owners the basic skills to take on small projects on their own homes, or offer professionals in the field the opportunity to expand their skillsets or update their knowledge in an accessible way.
Day 1: Introduction to tools, hand skills, and wood identification
Day 2: Scope and plan a small carpentry project
Day 3: Undertake project
Day 4: Complete project and debrief
