Projects in Development

Home Construction Model

Ashleigh has spent the summer developing a scale home construction model using lumber made in our Green Bay shop. Students will measure, lay out, crosscut, and assemble the structure using a precision tip hot glue gun.

The project follows the sequence and methods used in residential framing. It introduces scale and proportion, stud spacing, wall layout, top and bottom plates, headers, window and door openings, roof framing, squareness, plan reading, framing terminology, and precision lumber crosscutting. Dimensions and practices are drawn from common residential building codes.

Designed for learners working at home, the model could also give contractors and framing crews an approachable way to introduce construction fundamentals to a new team member with limited experience.
