Rough Framing - Build a Tiny House


  • Hammerstone: Carpentry for Women 3285 Jacksonville Rd Trumansburg, NY (map)

Who is this class for:
This course is open to women-identifying and non-binary folx as well as trans men.

Prerequisite: While this course has no explicit prerequisite, we highly recommend that students attend a 2-Day Basic Carpentry Skills course or equivalent before this course.  In Rough Framing - Build a Tiny House we review all content covered in our 2-Day Basic Carpentry Skills course, but at a faster pace.

Description: 
Whether you’re a tiny house fan planning your own build or a DIYer looking to learn how houses are constructed, this class is for you!  Some other tiny house courses treat students like free labor, giving advanced tasks to more experienced students and grunt work to the newbies.  In contrast, at Hammerstone we focus on teaching; all students experience every aspect of construction.   It may not be the fastest way to get a tiny house built, but we guarantee everyone will learn a ton.  In this class we lay out stick framed walls and roofs, practice on center spacing, frame window openings, learn about the function for sheathing, and much, much more.  We hope you’ll join us.

HOW TO CHOOSE A PAYMENT >

  • I consider myself middle income/wealth. Paying this price may be a sacrifice, but I can find the resources to do so. This is the full cost of running a course including paying our teachers a fair wage, covering insurance, maintaining tools and facilities, managing administration, and supporting our family.

  • I consider myself low-income/low-wealth. I cannot access this course without financial help.

  • I consider myself low-middle income/wealth. Paying full price for this course presents somewhat of a financial hardship.

  • I consider myself upper-middle income/wealth. I would like to make a donation on top of the full price of the course in order to help subsidize access for those who cannot pay the full tuition.

  • I have the resources to make a substantial donation to ensure that these classes remain accessible to people of all income/wealth levels.
