would like help on or advice on Mother earth news out of vermont. they have a timber frame wood shed to build. i am confused on some of the joinery and which timber sizes go where.i am hoping maybe someone with timber framing experience can shed some light on this to help me. thanks john
Nice looking shed, really crappy instructions. Basically the whole structure is put together using mortise and half lap joints, pinned with dowels. Not particularly difficult to build but pretty difficult to explain. If I was to build something like this, I'd probably just use their dimensions as a guide. You could probably get a simple book on timber framing which would allow you to puzzle out how to build it.
Looked like an old piece on the mother earth news web page I did not think of contacting them.i get the base 8×8 with lap joints.(sill). Then 6×6 posts. I was thinking of a stub tenon on the post to the sill lap joint ? Will 4 inches of the lab joint be enough for the stub tenon? And for the corner braces 4×4 mortise and tenon? The horizontal braces be 6×6?
