That is very nice.  Great work!

 I'm finishing the 12x16 Sobon Shed and giving it to my mother for her Kubota RTV and her new lawn mower. I'm going to raise it at a local fall festival next month as a demonstration.

I'm just about finished with the cherry sills for the shed. Going to try to get them set tomorrow. I made these 2" thick, but next time I am definitely going to go 3". Cutting through mortises near the ends really weakens the sill. I drilled pilot holes and ran 8" headloks in the ends.

Raised two bents. It snowed towards the end of the day. Felt good going vertical. I am using a telehandler for raising and am surprised how well its working giving the lack of swing.

Dave, This joint confuses me.

The top piece is a long sill with a stub mortise. The notch is a cog to locate the end sill. The two lower pieces make up another long sill. There is an elaborate, and unnecessary, scarf joint around the bent II post stub tenon.

Half the scarf. You can see blue lumber crayon where the stub tenon goes.

 First loose fit up on the slab. There will be an 8" Headlok on either side of the scarf.

It's probably just me but I find it an ordeal to post pictures on here.

Thats a fine looking structure. Maybe it's just us...

Thanks, I only meant that I find it hard to post pictures.  I usually end up putting the same picture in my gallery a few times before I get it on my post.

I myself find it's much easier to post pictures on here than build an event barn.  ;)   :D

A little project I've been working on. It is the woodshed from the small buildings TFG book, designed by Will Beemer. Simple looking building, bit of a PITA to build, particularly solo. Plus, my framing skills got a bit rusty since finishing my shop, so don't look too closely.

Will finish the rafters once I sort out why the shop heater is working properly.

Bent C is now up...the tallest one. I clocked 150MPH winds last week. My big ponderosas were swaying like crazy but the frame wasn't moving a hair.  8)

Great work, guys.

Well, it was a first for me the other day.
Ran into my first metric log.

Western Red Cedar.
A few inches over 30' long.
Logged in Western Canada, eh?

It took ten slices to get the butt flare reduced to a dimension that would allow me to halve the log from one end to another.
The cut was started a wee bit (metric increment) above the pith, 'cause Magicman has always said the I shouldn't split the pith.  :D  :D

Cut exit at small end of log, almost the same wee increment above the log pith.

The deck work in progress - being edge matched on three log 'joists'.
After this is complete, we will start on a 60' deck.
