Project Overview

In this project, you will build a miniature model of a framed wall section with a window opening.

You will apply your understanding of wall framing components and practice basic measurement

and building skills.

Materials Needed

• 1& x 2&or 1& x 3& wood strips (to simulate 2x4s, cut to scale)

• Wood glue or small nails

• Measuring tape or ruler

• Saw (hand or miter)

• Sandpaper

• Safety gear (goggles, gloves)

• Pencil

• Clamp (optional)

Steps

1. Measure and cut all framing parts to scale (18 x 12 overall frame, 3 stud spacing).

2. Lay out the bottom and top plates and mark stud locations.

3. Assemble the outer frame first using glue or nails.

4. Insert vertical studs with proper spacing.

5. Construct the window frame: add header, trimmers, rough sill, and cripples.
