Neither had our writer ziggy when he first moved to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dancingrabbit.org\/\">Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage<\/a>. He didn&#8217;t let that stop him from starting construction of <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/2011\/04\/building-a-cob-house-book\/\">his own cob home<\/a> in 2008 (which he documented at his <a href=\"http:\/\/small-scale.net\/yearofmud\/\">Year of Mud blog<\/a>). Now, he&#8217;s ready to start another project: a <a href=\"http:\/\/small-scale.net\/yearofmud\/timber-frame-house\/\">timber frame strawbale house<\/a>. Named Stawtron, the house will be about 300 square feet with wood-fired heat, a greenhouse, and even a screened porch.<\/p>\n<p>Many hands make light work, of course, and ziggy has decided to turn the building of the house into a learning experience for anyone interested. So, in June, 2012, he&#8217;ll host a <a href=\"http:\/\/small-scale.net\/yearofmud\/natural-building-workshops\/timber-framing-workshop-2012\/\">timber framing workshop<\/a> in which students will actually build the home&#8217;s frame. During the <a href=\"http:\/\/small-scale.net\/yearofmud\/natural-building-workshops\/timber-framing-workshop-2012\/timber-framing-workshop-info\/\">two-week class<\/a>, participants will learn how to choose the right timber, fashion it into lumber, and frame it into a building. The kicker: they&#8217;ll do it all with <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/2011\/09\/hand-forging-axes-gransfors-bruks\/\">hand tools<\/a> and traditional techniques.<\/p>\n<p>Sound like something you&#8217;d like to do? This <a href=\"http:\/\/small-scale.net\/yearofmud\/natural-building-workshops\/timber-framing-workshop-2012\/\">natural building workshop<\/a> will cost $2000, but that will cover your meals at the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.milkweedmercantile.com\/\">Milkweed Mercantile<\/a>, as well as tenting accommodations.\u00a0ziggy&#8217;s posted all of the details on his blog, and I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;ll be happy to answer any questions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Image credit:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/smallape\/5729585525\/in\/photostream\/\">ziggy fresh at Flickr<\/a> under a <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc\/2.0\/deed.en\">Creative Commons license<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interested in learning how to build a timber frame house by hand?
