It would be an experience well worth it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_Y2HzH6BF4

Jack has classes at both the Heartwood School and Hancock Shaker Village.

And they are certainly worth it.

I've taken the Sobon/Carlon workshop at Hancock, and Cruck framing at Heartwood, as well as several others. Great classes. If you can take a workshop with really experienced instructors, the payback will be huge.

I was on heartwood's website and it looks like they have several offerings related to home construction.

Here is the style I was thinking of doing. It would be a work shop for me for my metal lathe/milling machine and also my man cave.
