Update on Timber Frame - Got the Roof On
I posted a thread about my 12x16 sugar shack a few months ago. http://www.farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=64671
Thought I'd post up some pics of the work on the shack since then. I added a lean-to for my Cub on one side and 1x10 shiplap pine. Got the windows framed out and the cupola flashed and roofed.
The next step is to add a lean-to on the other side....this will be a timber frame lean-to used as a deck and and wood storage...and get a roof on it!
Thanks for letting me share.

Re: Update on Timber Frame
That is an excellent looking structure. You should be proud of your craftmanship. Nice home for your cub. Thanks for sharing.

All I can say is simply a wonderful example of pure craftsmanship. I love the joinery, classical yet modern even in it's simplicity. Beautiful job

Re: Update on Timber Frame
Thanks for the kind words everybody. It's nice to know that this kind of thing is appreciated.
I was going to stick build it, but last spring I just thought that this would be my chance to fulfill a dream of building a timber frame. It took the whole summer to cut the joinery, but man I'm glad I decided to do it this way. It has been one of the most rewarding things I have done.
And as BigDog mentioned....it should stand for quite some time!

Re: Update on Timber Frame

Re: Update on Timber Frame
Every time I look at this, I am jealous. I lived in smaller and much less well built homes. I am sure not gonna show this to any of my tractors. they are just going to have to be content with what they have.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

Re: Update on Timber Frame
Nice. Did you take a class on timber frame building?
There are several firms that give timber framing classes. Always thought I would like to take one of the classes.

Re: Update on Timber Frame
Thanks again fellas.
It does take patience. I had to learn not to be in a hurry this summer and really just enjoy the craft. Plus, precision is a MUST. If anything is even and eighth off, parts won't fit, and the frame will end up out of square, and raising day will be a disaster.
Eugene, I basically read al I could for about a year before this project. I designed the frame myself using plans from books. And then yes, in June I took a basic 2 day workshop, where for the first time I actually got to cut a few joints. That gave me the confidence to then go for it.
The frame is half lumber from my own property that I cut, and half lumber that I bought...spruce, pine, and hemlock.
