a little bit different

[agrimog]

so, it was decided, lets build a cabin for group projects, we'll get the voulenteers to help, it'll be easy, they say, ............ah, yes it was back in january when I laid out the groundwork, and built the base, lots of help and everybody interested, then WHAM everthing goes into lockdown.......move forward to may and two of us get started again, couple of days a week and voila......we nearly have a cabin.......the HM 126 has cut an extraordinary amount of larch for this thing, now a bloody expert in wany edge clading and roofing, and my "assistant" is confident enough to have built his missus a little she shed in theyre garden.........just one photo on here, if your interested, go to east ayrshire woodlands projects on facebook for loads more......

Got a mate up in Inverness who’s building this and he also commented on the headf****** that the angles caused him.

aye, and hes taken the easy route.....my rafters all mate to rafters, no steel work, and then rafters running from the corners at 600mm spacings(hip rafters) which are the real ba++++ds, the compound mitre saw wont cut them, you have to cut the long angle first, them either cut, or plane the 2nd short angle........lets just say theres a good supply of firewood now sitting from the tryouts. that looks like hes going to have a very nice cabin when its built.....like it

Metalwork  is his thing in reality, barbecue going in I think hence the opening for the chimney.

right, what is it they call them, scandanavian kuska, or sumat like that, very nice

due to the hasstle factor of moving pictures from this file to that, changing sizes, formats, etc, if you want more piccies and a couple of videos.....go to  east ayrshire woodlands projects, theres a whole load on there from the very start to the state we are in now
