Preparing a Timber Frame

Well, I finally got to go and help the crew start to put together a frame. with all the timbers on site,my first job was to find the matching timbers to the bents that we were putting together and either bring them to the deck or have our lift put them there. With all the timbers on the deck we would then start fitting them together, and when they were all in place we would go around and peg them together. Watching our crew of timber framers precisely assemble each bent in different sections of the deck so that the erection of the frame would go smoothly was impressive to see. I do hope that the owners of this timber frame home enjoy it as much as I did helping put it together.
