Framing demystified!
Framing is the process of connecting materials together to create a structure. Think of it as the skeleton that supports all the other features of a building.
Working individually, in pairs, and as a team --in this class you will frame and build an interior wall. You will get lots of time and practice with the power tools involved in the framing process. The wall will be constructed for the purpose of the class and then taken down at the end of the class.
The materials fee for this class is $65 and is included in the class admission cost.
*** We do require masking indoors, whatever your vaccination status***

Make a cutting board while learning how to use power tools. We will cover using the electric planer, ripping on the table saw, cross cutting on the miter saw, curved cuts on the bandsaw, and finishing. This is a great chance to get to know, or brush up on the most powerful tools in the shop. Take home your very own cherry or maple cutting board at the end.
The materials fee for this class is $20 and is included in the admission cost.

Come on up to camp on Fireweed instructor Dylan Linet's land project in northern Minnesota for a weekend of building a shed/tiny house! We will spend the morning on Saturday going over basic principles of how to think about framing, roofing, siding, etc and then spend the rest of Saturday and Sunday building a structure that could be used as a shed immediately, or converted later into a tiny house. The course will be held on 40 acres east of Sandstone Minnesota about 1hr 40mins from the twin cities metro. Free rustic camping (composting toilet/ outdoor solar/bag style shower) and three simple vegetarian meals a day are included with the class price.

The official class will be Saturay & Sunday from 9am-6pm however if class attendees wish to arrive early, they may arrive Friday evening anytime after 6pm. There will be an informal community potluck at 7:30pm and free camping that evening.
