Hi 👋, What a great sense of achievement, Beautiful work, it as being many years since I have been doing this sort of work, I built a King-post trust roof back in the early 2000s , then realised I needed to employ more people, which is something I didn’t particularly want to do, I went down a slightly different route. I ended up making specialist doors and windows., And doing renovation projects, I’m binging conversions, Since mid 2000s I’ve been involved in approximately 7 to 10 different barn conversion projects, Making some doors that take 3 to 4 people to lift them, And on one occasion, I remember it took eight people to help me install a large window, I’ve made it in my workshop then disassembled it and took it on a trailer 70/80 miles away then reassembled it, then got all the people who is working on the site together to help me to lift it up in place, Oh, the joys of working I wished I still was, I’m now in my 70s, and now living in rural France, I was from the uk .And I have been thinking On the idea, laying a 6squ mts concrete floor in an old garage workshop area, then found out the price of concrete €2000, I’ve now decided to do a timber structured floor, I still have most of my tools, Mafell, router and a Arunda jig , so I am building my floor frame so it all locks together, I should get the rest of it done today, I will have a look at your project over the next few days, keep up the great work, stay safe, France.

The placement of any scarf is best not over the top of the post. That is the top of the wave that the plate will have ❤
@manitoulintimberframes4968Ай бұрын
Thank you for your comment. Would you disagree that several other factors, such as where the load on the plate is, and what actual forces apply to it, should be considered before determining the best place for a scarf joint?

I am careful not to pry wood off with my chisels. They will get dull faster that way ❤
Nice work. I have noticed that the Japanese utilize hand planes in their large scale joinery much more than western timber framers. Why don’t suppose that is? I find the use of planes increases control and precision when it is possible to use them.

@@user-vz6ef1ig9z Ah yes, I used these guides, for sure. I found that the exactness of the angle does not really make a difference, and after a while you get a feel for where the chisel needs to sit when it's ground hollow, i.e. the back and the front of the bevel touching the stone. So what if the bevel is slightly rounded? If it's sharp, and cuts wood like butter, it's what we're after in the end, right, not the perfect 25 degree angle?

Those live edge accents look amazing. Such a clever way to use the natural shape of wood as accents that give the whole build more character. Good work!

Thank you for the kind words! This chisel was forged by Mr. Barr Quarton, www.barrtools.com. This is the best 2" chisel I ever held - keeps the edge, well-balanced, and light weight (comparatively).
