Some of my tools I've used over the years with my Timber Framing. 🙂

10/22/2026

I just acquired a new toy, I mean tool for the shop, and it made me reminisce on the tools I've used over the years. Really looking forward to this new tool, once I get it sharpened that is! 😉

I ❤️ it when the shop smells of fresh sawn Eastern White Pine. Unfortunately I only get to enjoy the aroma every now and then, I've just been so accustomed to it over the years that I don't realize it as much. 🫤

This will be a Mortice Pocket for a knee brace.

I absolutely ❤️ Timber Framing.

Everything from...
• Bunkies
• Cabins
• Cottage Frames
• Front Entranceways
• Pool Pavillons & Outdoor Kitchens
• Screen Rooms
And even house frames too.

I use traditional Mortice and Tenon Joinery, typically with Eastern White Line, Douglas Fir upon request. I also have a supply of Reclaimed Timbers from Barns.

Currently I'm booked up for the fall and winter, looking forward to discussing any of your projects for spring 2027.

Send me a DM will you please. 🙂

A few more pictures of the project I'm working on with Reclaimed Douglas Fir Timbers.

How do you raise a 20' wide Douglas Fir Truss by yourself? Very carefully! 😜

What I'm using is called a material lift. It has a mast that can go up to 18' in the air, and you raise things with a hand operated crank.

Not sure exactly how much each truss weighs, but fortunately this man was able to tip them up as well by myself! 😉

Walls are now up and temporarily braced for the main section of the hall. I just have to finish test fitting the Trusses that I was working on in the shop over the winter and spring. They should be going up next week if all goes well.
