Trades Experience and Learning
Hey all, I'm looking for some advice on how to gain hands-on Masonry and Carpentry experience without dedicating time to a school or full apprenticeship. Obviously, there is the YouTube and DIY option, but I'd like to network, have some mentoring, and constructive critiques on my practice. I am open to suggestions for your favorite basics YT channels too, though!

Hey Cassidy, I did a brick masonry apprenticeship years ago, and the pace of learning was extremely slow. So, I understand that sentiment! I only stayed for about 4 months, and have taught myself instead. So far, I've learned brick and carpentry skills from Youtube and doing my own projects. The hands-on trial and error is the best way to learn. Rob Songer is a good youtube channel for brick skills: https://www.youtube.com/@robsonger1 But really, just about any youtube channel I've come across has helped. Carpentry youtube channels are in huge abundance too. I've never watched anyone specifically. I just search for a particular project or skill that I need at the time and something good comes up. In-person mentoring is definitely hard to find though. Feel free to post progress here on Skool for critiques if you want though!

I need a moderator to help with this page!
Hey guys! You may have noticed a lot of spam accounts creeping in lately. I've been deleting these accounts as soon as I see them, but I'm glad to make someone a Moderator to help me keep our Skool group clean of these spam advertisements. Just message me if you're interested! Thanks!

@Rositsa Aleksandrova Oh, I'm not familiar with what's going on or what that is. 😅

Half-Timbering (Fachwerk) Restoration
I wanted to share this great video! It documents the restoration of an old German "fachwerk" house. This is a building style I'll be doing myself on my upcoming barn and kitchen projects. If you watch this video, you'll see the many traditional uses of timber, clay, straw, and lime!

Upcoming Cob & Straw Workshops
Fall 2025 Cob & Straw Workshops It's been an amazing Spring and Summer of workshops! I'm glad to announce that my upcoming Fall 2025 Workshops are open for registration. Come and join me in beautiful eastern Tennessee for our next Cob and Straw Workshops! We will be constructing with both cob and straw-clay. These workshops are perfect for beginners and experts alike! You will get the expert knowledge to build with cob and straw! Either for small-scale structures or large-scale projects like homes and buildings. Please click the link below to get the schedule and class details. Click Here for Schedule and Workshop Details I have NOT raised class prices, and I've added even more great benefits to the classes. For September and October classes, we will also be doing a hempcrete demonstration and making Dorodango polished earth spheres. So, you can still enjoy our low pricing and incredible value ratio! I look forward to meeting more of you here this Fall! Alex
