Repairing a 200 Year Old Timber Frame Barn in Denmark - Part 1

Join Mark from Nomad Boat Building on a one-of-a-kind trip to Denmark, where wooden boatbuilding meets historic timber-frame restoration. In this episode, Mark travels halfway around the world to help his friend Mikkel, who runs a boatbuilding school, transition from online education into hands-on, in-person classes—all inside a 200-year-old Danish barn. This barn, originally built around 1862, is part of a traditional Danish farm compound designed to protect livestock from wind and weather. As Mark gives a detailed tour of the structure, you’ll see historic joinery, timber frame markings, recycled beams, and unique construction methods that tell the story of how these buildings evolved over centuries. Alongside German timber framer Till, Mark helps repair rotted sill logs, straighten bowed walls, and restore brick infill using traditional lime mortar.
