mike-hr Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I got free reign on design and manufacture of some joist brackets for an open beam house. They passed engineering, intentionally overbuilt as a focal point over the kitchen area. The designer and clients both really liked them, can't complain about that.

stretch Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I do quite a few joist hanger brakets. I make them out of one piece of 1/4 plate. A friend has a computerized plasma cutter so I just phone him up and he cuts out the size I need. He has quite a few patterns for me now. I do the initial bends on the 10 ton flypress I have and do the last bend on the friction screw press. It is a lot easier than when I started. It all has to be done hot to get the nice bends. I will send along a couple pictures. Some of them are on the timbers in my front yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfootnampa Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Those are nice! I have done some but they were hidden in the finished project... hangers for stair stringers. I made them massive but not decorative. No problems with the inspectors as they just seemed obviously overbuilt (and they were). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
