We started cutting the 6x6 sills for the timber frame. John is cutting the ends square so we can cut them to 12'. It takes 4 passes and then cutting with a hand saw to cut them.

This is a practice Morris and tendon for the timber frame. We had to cut the sides out with a skill saw, still the flat out with a right angle drill then chisel the rest out at a 45 degree angle. 

This is a board that we did out practice rafter lay out. We did the ridge board reduction, birds mouth, over hang with plumb cut. It took a few try's to get right

We took aluminum coil stock and bent it up to go along the seams of the smart side. John is measuring his bends for the sidding. 

This is the soffit. The plywood was ripped and painted to be finished. The facia board will be put on next.

These are our over hangs for the 12'x24' building. They are made to over hang 12" we used 5/4 and 2x4's to stud it. 

Shed 11-7-14

This week the floor got finished off. The walls were built and sheathing was put on with 7penny nails. Then we had to finish them with a nail set. They went up pretty quick. 

This is the finish product, all of the walls are either 8' wide or just shy of 12'. It took some time to get them all assembled and blocking in. The double top plate was just screwed down to be temporary just like the walls were screwed Together. 

After all the work we did the walls and floor were taken apart. The sections are made for easy assembly. They are all marked so there isn't anything put up wrong. Also so the assembly is quick
