Project Information

I.ve always wanted a set of these for my small timberframe projects, When I mentioned this to my friend Tim he offered to supply the oak (from hurricane Irene storm damage) , and saw it out on his portable band saw samill if I would teach him as we built two pair! I coudn't say yes fast enough. I made a pattern and we started with layout ,drilling,sawing and chiseling techniques. Then tackeled fitting,chamfering and pinning the ponies together. We each ended up with a set of strong and beautiful tools that no timberframer should be without. I'll put mine to good use as Tim has also given me some other 10 ft long oak beams for my new workshop addition. For these I'll create a new folk art sign for his camp in the Adirondacks near Indian Lake. Ya gotta love bartering. I've started on his sign ,a 4ft long Brown trout with camp and family name above and below it on (of course) a timberframe of some sort. Sorry about the shaky cell phone picture,looks like it might be time for a real camera!
