Judson Yaggy Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Some railings first, traditional joinery, no welding. Then my main project for the last 6 months. I've rebuilt a dated 1803 English style barn timber frame for some special clients. I've been both lead timber framer and carpenter managing a small crew as well as subs (excavators, concrete, masons, roofers) and doing the CAD design work and forging all the hardware.

Alan Evans Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 You've been busy then! Nice jobs. We are working up to cladding a barn here...ours is a steel framed one however...is the cladding on yours screwed/nailed direct to the Oak frame or are there horizontal batons in between?

Judson Yaggy Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Thanks Alan. The timber frame has horizontal "nailers" of about 4" by 6" every 5 feet or so pegged into the posts, and these are in the same plane as the sills and a sheathing dado in the top plates. The sheathing is nailed directly onto the exterior face of all these timbers with square cut nails for the right look. 2 layers of sheathing. It's the "traditional" way of doing it around here, at least for the last 250 years or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Nice work. Did your minions make the nails too, or did you buy them? I like the hammer, the hole in the back is an interesting part of the design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
