Log Building& Saunas

Richard Andersen will lead the sauna build and log building at Fivepenny Farm. April 14- 27, 2024.

Join Richard to help build a community sauna for Fivepenny Farm. Together we will erect a basic structure and roof, clad and insulate it, and install a woodburner. All being well we should be celebrating the end of the course with a steaming hot sauna!

Participants will learn basic woodworking skills, how to use hand tools and power tools, and how to construct a simple, beautiful and functional sauna.

Some previous experience in woodwork or practical crafts is preferable but guidance will be provided for all levels of experience. Please provide some details about yourself and why you are interested in woodwork. contact us to sign up
