Off-grid Homestead Project Timber Framed Cabin First Knee Brace

[jgwoodworking]

I have always liked timber framing and like these videos. timber framing the way you do it is a lesson in the classic way of doing it.

The true beauty of working with wood is that eventually TIME as a construct disappears. There was/is a reason that Jesus was a Master Carpenter...keep communing with the higher purposes of your time and effort! BTW->looks great!

Couple of things......

Dont use soap to lubricate bolt threads..... soap attracts water...... use bees wax.

Dont have PO equipment lying around.... plastic tub says USPS.

Fabulous job.

Just curious - why did you elect to go with a let-in brace rather than a mortised brace? I believe that structurally, the mortised brace compromises the strength of the members it triangulates less. Nice fit, though.

nice work friend.  I hope to be following in your footsteps soon

nicely done.God is good

[thenodnarb]

whats amazing about this type of construction and the precision of your work especially is that these joints will actually get stronger with time as the wood fibers join. fantastic job. You should make furniture(if you don't already).
