timber-framed saw-shed erection

[dervishcarving]

relax, its not that kind of film

My mate and I have been slowly working on a new saw-shed. He had a lot of Douglas Fir wind-blown 2 years ago and decided to use it to build a saw-shed. I have helped throughout and have learnt a lot. We didnt have to fell any trees to build this which was good. Did have to sort a lot of wind-blown though (good trainign for me but kinda scary at times, those big Douglas can have a lot of energy when blown down).

all hand-cut mortise/tenon joints with hand-cut oak pegs. Construction took about 7 hours, 11 people involved plus the Avant. Great day for it, sunny but cold. A dam fine day. Tomorrow we will finish fittign the rafters and then its just a case of roofing it. Anyone want to cut 1400 shingles for us? no pay, just cant be arsed to do it

 

Tried to load the video direct but failed due to some securite tag or somethign (meh)
