In September of 2019 I partook in a timber framing and half-timbering with wattle and daub workshop organised by the Museum for Older Techniques in Grimbergen, Belgium. Three teams of seven people worked together with two intructors (Ante Corthals and Mathijs Huyghebaert) on the building using only hand tools and traditional techniques over a span of eleven days in total, each group working five days individually. Starting from felled timber, the proces of hewing a beam, laying out a joint and making it were excercised. This finally resulted in raising the complete timber framed structure after about nine days of work. This frame was to be half timbered by filling the voids between the beams with wattle and daud. This proces was demonstrated by local expert in the matter, Gerrit Van den Dries. After the workshop was completed, the remaining walls were filled with wattle and daub and the remaining portions of the roof were covered with wooden shingles on a later date. The result is a beautiful half-timbered, timber framed cabin which holds the museums winnowing machine and is a great addition to the site.
