Short trailer of upcoming full documentary movie uncovering 10 days of our traditional, unplugged (hand tools only) carpentry/timber framing course this spring in Latvia, Ratnieki.

We built one half of 6m x 15m English style timber frame timber frame (with medieval English tying joints) in 10 days.

Many thanks to Erik Grankvist for filming the course and also for being one of the 16 students.
