The School begins classes once each year, early in October. Students are divided into sections of 12 students each, and get two hours of classroom instruction and six hours of shop instruction per day, Monday through Friday 8am - 5pm.
Basic Boatbuilding is the focus of the first semester, which runs from early October to late December.
The instructors assume that most, if not all, students have no woodworking skills and proceed from that assumption. The skills taught in the first semester are those essential to boatbuilding, and the course, for that reason, is very "hands-on".
Students learn to sharpen and use all their tools, and participate in a wide range of individual skill-building exercises, from learning to make the joints commonly used in boatbuilding to a series of tools. Students learn to draft and make a half-model. Then, working in pairs, they learn to loft a boat full-size on the floor. Finally, working, together as a team, the semester culminates in December as students work together to build a flat-bottomed skiff.

Saws date back at least to the early Egyptians, who used copper hand saws were about half a meter long and worked much like today's knives to saw their way through soft materials.
The Greeks and Romans improved the basic design of the saw by introducing wooden frames for supporting the blade and setting the saw teeth alternately, in order to get a better more accurate and easier cut.
The big breakthrough for the humble hand tool came after 1650, when the process of rolling wide strip steel was developed in Sheffield and Holland. Wider bladed saws made it possible to do away with the wooden frame, and the steel hand saw, as we know it, was born.
English saw makers developed the wider type handle still in use today, while continental makers produced a pistol-shaped handle. The fact that a saw can "sing" was discovered both in Europe and in the U.S. at about the same time.
As furniture and joinery work became finer and more detailed, specialist saws were developed to help craftsmen achieve the desired effects. Sash, tenon, keyhole and dovetail saws were developed with thinner blades, finer teeth and steel or brass strengthening bars began to appear, together with new types of open handles for ease of use.
Today's hand saws use double-sharp steel edges to cut through wood, metal and just about anything else you can imagine. The diversity of specialty saws is staggering. Saws do everything from prune a hedge to hacking through drywall. Take a moment to appreciate the diversity and the handiness of the humble hand tool, the saw.

Tyneham, Dorset, England, UK.
Tyneham is a ghost village which was abandoned in November 1943 when all residents were told to leave within 28 days as the area was needed for forces’ training in preparation for D Day. On 17 December 1943 the last residents left believing one day they could return. This was never to happen. Today, the village is still part of the Army Firing Ranges but public access is allowed most weekends.
