I have not posted a blog, regarding timber framing, in some time as we have been busy working on our class project. We are building two structures, a chalet and a bent. The milling for the bent started two and a half weeks ago (see 1). I spent so much time working on the sawmill I actually became very proficient at it.

Then came what seemed like days of planing and joinery as in 2 and 3 above. My chisel and I became well acquainted and it had to be sharpened twice. We finally got all the pieces finished and were ready to start raising our first building, the chalet!
