Her is my progres on building awning for my shop.

I plan to make it woodworking more efriendly because of rain and I today build one gallows bracket .

 

Plan is to copy this system on other building 

First screws were used to hold beam at place then down 7 cm nails were used to nailed from side about 2.5 inches.

 

Then I used 4 inches nails to nail this construction together.

Cuts were made at angles too .

45 degree and bracket was made using layout from L shape where it went diagonaly.

 

Hold excellent , need to make another one.

 

Timber used for construction is 4x5 .

Length is to accomodate my space above door and under roof about 30 inches long beam

And I made some decorations on it 

 

It will be mounted using those long threaded rods that will go through wall and from other side another wood plank to act as washer and metal washer too 

I like the rough hewn, rustic look. It fits the architecture of the building. There is something satisfying about doing mallet and chisel work.

I didn't knew  that it was easy to work with timbers , it like Lego pieces Wich fit nice when cut properly.

Work done with chisel as you mention it.. and some sanding

Litle bit of sanding

 

 

 

 

And oldfashioned planing oak beam for bracket Wich I found out as scrap piece

Nat, I can't watch most youtube videos without subscribing to youtube and opting into their ads. Youtube ads pop up whether I'm watching youtube videos or not. While I'd like to see your videos I'm not opting into the marketing.

Frosty The Lucky.

Oh diditn knew that , well my videos are accesed by links probably that's reason  Frosty -

I put some links from tik tok too.

Well progress today was made, and Frosty i will in future add some more photos from my progress.

 

Rope is tied to workbench Wich is made of steel pipes 2 inches and Wich have lots of materials on it placed and it won't have less weight then bracket.

 

Pulley where is located and beam, one other side I used roofing tiles and it weight more then beam.

Then tied pulley with wire to that beam and mounted all together.

One side screwed of bracket 

Other side to go too, I made temporary fastener with strong zipties,just so it can hold and I can work with it better

Don't sweat it Nat, just because I don't subscribe to Youtube doesn't mean you shouldn't use it. Heck, I prefer stills to any videos unless motion is necessary to make the point. 

The stills show me plenty, thank you. I suggest when making joints like in the last pic you cut a shallow notch in both the vertical (post) and horizontal (beam) where the diagonal (hip) join so the hip is in a notch and can NOT move. trim the angle of the outsides of the hip so it matches the notches in post and beam so it is square in the notch.

You won't need nearly as heavy fasteners this way because the structure can't move unless something picks up the end of the beam which would pretty well tear it all apart anyway. 

I like lag screws for joining timber frames like this and put a little wood glue on the screws when I drive them. The glue serves two purposes, first is lubricates the screw so they drive more easily and are less likely to split lumber. The second is it swells the wood slightly and glues the screw in place.

Make sense?

Frosty The Lucky.

I like lag screws too cause you can use wrench on them and they have more torque that way

Well i could get more fancy and use mortise and tenon but i choose not to, but i will cut notch , i can use some L brackets made or forged out of iron, i can buy one chrome plated and screw them also or nail them it wont be in vain.

It will add mroe stability.

 

Adding small detail to bracket 

Existing washer had to be grind down so it can fit against metal bracket .

 

And next what was done today .

 

 

Citing and choping joint before everything is assembled 

 

 

Making steady progress there Nat. Nice day for working outside, it's still a little chilly here.

 Frosty The Lucky.

Yes it is , I now need to put roof over it it would be 2 by 3 1/2 beams .

I thought to put 4by4 but I won't.

Then need to go 2.5 by 3 sticks and ove it goes "roofing material" Wich look like it was build as brick.

Classic European roofing style 

 

The space Between long stick must be measured according roofing dimensions.

 

 

 

To make same distance between  roofing material  jig from wood is made.

We measure from hook of  tiles to bottom of tiles .

 

Hooks are not seen in images but they are under plate , and they serve purpose so material hook to long sticks and it hold it.

 

O K A Y Nat. I put composition shingle roofs on for a while back in the day and understand how your measuring stick works without knowing how to do it. If that makes sense. I had a stop on the bottom of my pneumatic staple gun that measured where to staple the shingle. In other trades we called that feature a story mark or pole or. Story something. Same thing as your little measuring stick whatever you call it.

I'd sure like to see how your tiles interlock if you'd lay a couple out on the floor and shoot a pic. Please?

 Frosty The Lucky.

Well they interlock like this 

This hook on top of picture are used to hook to wooden part

Got it! Thanks Nat, that really helped. Are they attached to the horizontal boards supporting them or just hook over them and weight keeps them in place? 

 Frosty The Lucky.

They are attached on horizontal boards , I wouldnt call it board cause it's narrow .

That narrow pieces of wood hold two sides of tile 

Yes, we call those "Purlins" and they only have to be large enough to support the roof cladding and snow load. AND drive nails into without splitting. 

 Frosty The Lucky. 

On most roofs i know around here, they don't fasten them. Interlocking and the weight keeps them on. Even with heavy wind. Only the ridge is secured mostly by means of mortar and the bottom row they use hooks.

Slates they fasten every with nails or hooks because they don't interlock.

Makes sense. How much does a tile weigh and how high do wind speeds get?

 Loading the roof with slate must be brutal work. 

 Frosty The Lucky.

I don't know about that, but I know that they fasten tile with nails there are holes in them, if angles are higher like 70degrees and that's in windy places 

 

That makes sense, ceramic tiles blowing around the neighborhood in a wind storm would be a B A D thing. Are there holes in the tiles pictured above?

 Frosty The Lucky.

No newer models have it.

You still have to drill them or they crack when trying to get the screw in. 

Don't ask me how i know that

I won't even chance a guess at how you might know a thing like that. 

Nor will ask why you're driving screws through a small looking NAIL hole. Is it the norm to screw them down rather than nail them?
