The 3rd Annual International Preservation Trades Workshop, IPTW-99, is a
forum for tradespeople working in the field of historic preservation. An
opportunity for those who use their backs and their hands, as well as their
minds, to exchange experiences, skills, and ideas, and to increase the
visibility and recognition of the trades within the preservation community.

Because IPTW is designed by the trades, and for the trades, the principal
focus of the Workshop will be on the demonstration of craft skills and trade
techniques in areas such as:

Brick and stone conservation, concrete repairs, and lime mortar preparation
and application. Use of historic tools, historic millwork, epoxy repair
techniques, and wood identification and preservation. Timber framing, log
repairs, blacksmithing and hardware. Historic roofing methods, windows, and
glazing. Project documentation and architectural fragment collections. And
much more . . .

Make your plans now to join us for this exciting opportunity for sharing and
learning. Visit us on the web at http://www.PTN.org. Also look for the PTN
Newsletter in issues of Traditional Building, with news and information on
