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.
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!
It certainly is a great feeling!! What stokes us even more is how our work transforms our client's lives. Imagine seeing a work of art that you love every day.
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?
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.

Good luck with your project, France!

Thank you! We love how those turned out, too! An interesting fact: these were destinied to be cut into firewood.
Very nice work
Thank you!
It must feel awesome to build something that will last generations

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 ❤

Beautiful! how does something like this only have 109 views....
I guess it has something to do with the algorithm? Thank you for commenting!

Thank you! We all pick tools that we deem best for the job, I guess.
I am careful not to pry wood off with my chisels. They will get dull faster that way ❤
Good on you, sir!
