Insights from the yesteryear at Shelter Institute

Visit Shelter June 28-30, 2013 at the WoodenBoat show in Mystic, CT. This show is produced by the esteemed WoodenBoat Magazine. More than 100 traditional and contemporary wooden boats crafted by professionals and amateurs will be there to view along with booths from a variety of marine and woodworking vendors. There will be demonstrations by experts where you can learn new skills or even build a boat with your family over the course of a weekend.

Look for Shelter under our Douglas-fir timber frame. At our booth we'll demonstrate the Tormek sharpening system, have Japanese hand saws on hand to try and purchase, lots of timber framing tools, measuring tools from Starrett, axes from Gransfors Bruks, Land Ark wood finish, and more.
Advanced tickets can be purchased online. Directions to the Mystic Seaport and more information can be found on the Seaport website. If you plan on visiting us at the show or want to see photos of us having fun in Mystic, visit us on Facebook.
Since 1974, Shelter Institute has crafted hundreds of timber frames while teaching thousands of students sustainable building practices. From courses and quality tools to custom design-build services, we help you think, build, and live well.
