Build the Past. Forge the Future.

Donation $20

Odin's Warrior Tribe invites a select group of active and veteran military personnel, along with a few approved civilian participants, to an exclusive hands-on Viking Hall Building Workshop in Branford, Connecticut.

This full-day immersive experience will take place on Saturday, January 10, 2026, and is centered on the construction of our nearly 60-foot Viking Hall — a gathering place of spirit, tradition, and endurance.

Led by the European-trained master craftsmen of Leetes Island Boatworks and Handlavet, this workshop will introduce participants to ancient timber framing and Viking-era construction techniques rarely practiced today. Whether you’re a seasoned tradesman or simply eager to learn, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build alongside masters and brothers-in-arms.

Schedule of the Day

• 0900 Hours – Coffee & Refreshments provided by the Tribe

• Morning Session: Hands-on Viking Hall construction and traditional timber framing techniques

• Midday: Lunch provided by the Tribe

• Afternoon Session: Advanced skill-building and continued hall construction work

• 1600/1700 Hours: End of workday

• Evening (Invitation Only):

  • For serious prospects interested in joining Odin’s Warrior Tribe and who are active-duty or veteran military heathens and special guests.

  • Private Seafood Dinner Gathering: Share stories, learn about the Tribe, and experience the brotherhood firsthand

Special Guest Presentation

Dr. William Short, founder of Hurstwic and co-author of Men of Terror, will deliver a special talk on Viking Age Halls and Longhouses, offering deep historical insight and inspiration for the structure we are building together.
