Timber Framing

[Dave Shepard]

90% done with siding. Front is done. I built a little roof over the door track. There will be another piece on the front when the track is in. I think the horse may take up residence before the doors are done.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Geeze that looks nice.

 

[Dave Shepard]

Thank you. It was just supposed to be a three sided run in. Things got a bit carried away.

 

[pantheraba]

You are making a horse very happy.

 

[Marc-Antoine]

Too bad your carpentry ends hidden by the siding

 

[Dave Shepard]

Only on the outside

Amazingly pretty!

Tajmahorsebarn is done except for doors. Horse and companion goat were installed this morning.

 

[lxskllr]

Does the goat have a pet horse, or does the horse have a pet goat? Hmm...

 

[Dave Shepard]

The horse has a pet goat, I think.

Long, but time stamped.

Skills

 

[Dave Shepard]

I've watched a few of his videos. A huge project.

 

[Burnham]

Lovely.

Trying to get the last door, for now, done on the horse palace. I found some antique strap hinges, and surprisingly, a pair of drive pintles that matched. I wasn't sure of the installation technique, so I tried it on some dunnage. Looks like a 1/2" hole and send it.

 

[pigwot]

Nice. I like your break-down workbench seen a few photos back in front of the horse palace.

 

[lxskllr]

Cool looking hinges. Are you gonna finish them, or leave them rusty? I can see the appeal either way, but I kinda like rusty. Maybe a hot oil bath? I might have to play around with something like that and see how it turns out.

Order a new point for your pickaroon while you're thinking about it ;^)

 

[Dave Shepard]

Probably leave then like that. The light rust is from soaking in vinegar. Didn't do much.
Pickeroon belongs to a friend. I got LogRite to send him a new one.

I've got a ton of 10' and 12' pine logs that need to get milled into pretty much anything. A bunch will just be 3x4 dunnage, but others will make nice timbers. I've decided to cut them for a small open sided pavilion big enough for a picnic table and a grill. I'm going to try a hipped roof, as I've never played with compound roof joinery before. I'll put it up on my driveway with a for sale sign on it. Maybe 10"x12". A small project like this fits in my garage easily, and will give me something to work on when the weather is crappy. I will incorporate some curvy natural edge braces to add some interest.

 

[Dave Shepard]

It was fun looking through the Tajmahorsebarn photos again. A great project for some important friends.

 

[Dave Shepard]

Shipped the entryway this evening. There are two 8x8s that this sits in with braces.

 

[Burnham]

You've still got it, Dave. Lovely.

 

[Dave Shepard]

I'm hoping to get some photos of it installed at the Forest Products Expo.

 

[Dave Shepard]

The feet are buried in the mulch.

I'm building another Dutch workbench to have at the shop we're I'm working. Made some pegs tonight. "No!", said Br'er Rabbit. "Don't make me rive straight grain oak and drawshave it into octagonal pegs!".
