Are there any timber framers among us?

I’ve customized and built a hall and parlor frame design and have had some coursework in timber design and engineering….. but I wouldn’t really claim to be a timber framer.

What kind of questions do you have?

I’m a boat builder and have done some major timber frame repair on local wind mills. I’ll help if you want me to you can email me or send a PM. Good luck on the project whatever it is.

Jim, I sent you an email thru your yacht site email as it was the only way to add the pictures that I knew of.
Vet, thank you so much for your kind offer to help, after I saw the bench that Jim was working on, it was almost a perfect match to my questions. This project is on a very small scale timber frame so its just more large joinery than anything else.
