Learn to transform freshly fallen trees into waterproof exteriors. No power tools required, these ancient and resilient techniques can be executed with will-power and hand tools alone. We will work together to make and dress the frame of a tiny house with water-tight wooden cladding. Suitable for walls and roofs, we will learn to:  split boards, make shingles, hew strapping, create flame-hardened wedges, and fasten wooden exteriors to an existing tiny house structure. No experience necessary, this workshop is fit for all skill levels.
