Timber Framing

[Dave Shepard]

We actually have a few timbers on site. Going to start putting the floor system together this coming week.

Loading up.

Satisfied like someone likes this forever...

Very cool. Learn something every day

 

[MasterBlaster]

Interesting! I was wondering how that contraption worked!

I have a feeling running out of tinder for a fire is not a concern.

 

[Dave Shepard]

Almost finished the floor assembly this week.

 

[flushcut]

Awesome!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Looks solid as a rock!

 

[FireFighterZero]

Good night!


An instant treasure.

 

[Tree09]

Awesome work Dave

How long will it take to build the whole frame? How long to assemble it?

Very different that if you cut a 2x8 wrong, and just get another one, I'd imagine. A lot of measuring and layout!

 

[Dave Shepard]

Sean, sorry I didn't catch your question. It's going to take us about three or four days to put the frame up.

 

[Marc-Antoine]

wow !

 

[Dave Shepard]

A little bit more up today. This is the barn I've posted about in this thread over thre years

 

[MasterBlaster]

I dunno... it looks kinda flimsy!

(runs and hides!)

[Tree09]

Absolutely beautiful man, good work!

 

[Dave Shepard]

I designed an anti-social, I mean social distancing farm stand for a farm that sells goat cheese today.

 

[ruel]

Bit smaller than the last frame you posted😉

Jigs, auger bits and chisels oh my! This has to be the best forum ever! Long live THE TREE HOUSE! Everyone here is so talented and cool, well maybe not everyone is cool, but this is real New England timber framing! Did you ever get Jointers Quarterly publications? I used to read those cover to cover. My name is Ty BTW. I went totally corporate 3 years ago and live vicariously through you guys.

 

[Dave Shepard]

Sketched up a quick horse run in this afternoon. Looks a lot like the farm stand, only bigger. I think I might add a little King Post on the long wall to support the plate.

 

[Dave Shepard]

Getting the site ready for the run in. Lots of rocks.

Is that a pallet corral in the first pic? What's in there?
