Interesting video. I have no idea how you yanks work with feet and inches and fractions of inches. I’d love to do a framing course but there is no way I could work with those units. Give me base 10 and millimetres any day

@joe1071 Жыл бұрын
In school we learn both. I would rather work in centimeters and millimeters as well. When you’re just learning carpentry and people are communicating measurements is eighths and sixteenths, not as straightforward as millimeters.

In traditional oak framing we have a more complicated joint . A jowl post with tusk tenon and teasel tenon , These inter link the tie beam the roof plate / frame beam and jowel post . Makes your joint in this vid look pretty simple . Although the sample joint you show is a quality piece of carpentry👍👍👍👍

With shelf dimensions in joints like that, what's the rule of thumb for their depth? At what proportional depth do you get the most strength?
@ShelterInstitute4 жыл бұрын
tim wrigley MOST of the time we use a 1” shelf......but we do a load calc for each job to determine required bearing area based on the beam span and the wood species. Recognizing the vagueness of this answer, feel free to get in touch with specific design questions! Use info@shelterinstitute.com

@3.00 is it worth oven drying the wedge once more before driving in, much as you would using wooden pegged connection?
@MedievalTrebuchet4 жыл бұрын
Love these videos, thank you. Could you also choose to drive the wedge from the inside?
@ShelterInstitute4 жыл бұрын
Dawesome21 you could however driving the wedge from the outside tends to drive the post into the beam, making for a tight fit whereas driving the wedge from the inside pushes the post AWAY from the beam.

Is there a reason the top of the mortice, where the wedge rides, is not tapered to match the slope of the wedge?
@ShelterInstitute4 жыл бұрын
Timberdoodles in short, there is no need. The gentle taper of the wedge dies a great job driving the tenon down where the two tapered surfaces (bottom of tenon, bottom of mortise) fully engage each other.
@timberdoodles46474 жыл бұрын
@@ShelterInstitute I've done them no taper and with a taper that matches the wedge, usually a 1:10 ration so a 10" post would have a 1" slope from inside to outside, and driven from the outside. I can see a slight wedge with no taper in the expanded mortice can work. Good video series, I've stopped at the shop a few time. Thanks.

Can you drive the wedge from the inside so it can be tightened over time?
@downeastprimitiveskills768829 күн бұрын
@@andrew63345 With Shelter's method of no taper at the top of the mortice I would see it working best driven from the inside as it will first press the half dove tail tenon down into the bottom slope of the mortice. I drive all my wedged half dove tails from the inside, I like them driven from the inside because I see the tapers wanting to "spit" the wedge out if under force or if it gets loose. If you want to drive it more after it ages you need to leave the wedge short so it won't kick the planking off the outside of the building.

They mentioned that they'll *peg* the joint after driving in the wedge, so pounding on it afterwards will not tighten the joint.

Woud you recommend this joint for building a support frame of a pergola?
@geemail36920 күн бұрын
I wouldn't. Pergolas usually have a lightweight flat roof, not pushing out on the posts. A heavy gable roof on the contrary *does* push out quite significantly, so the locking feature/s of this joint will save the day.
