I'm definitely interested in helping on that building for a couple days. Let me know what I can do to help.

I have plenty of logs might need some help milling the cut list.
I haven't been able to hire a helper yet for Spring.

We will have to set up for the garage dimension first. After that the cutting list will come up. As a starting 2x4 if your logs have small knots, or 2x6 with a bit larger knots. I always choose the specific use of my boards according to the grain and the knots. Also we could use some live edge as in the following small wood shed frame

I'm open to any size building that you think would workout for our time frame.
I'm so looking forward to this☺

No I've never built a tobacco barn.
As a teenager I've worked in construction for my summers jobs. My first own curved construction was my own house 40 years ago. You could see some pictures on claudedrolet.com  , click on  English version and click on constructions. You will see some other interesting curved constructions.

There is a lot of possibilities. I need a PM to give me precision.
Here is a small wood shed for wood stove done with a curved live-edge frame. Those live-edge are too narrow for my market. That shed is small so I go move it easily with the backhoe , fill my wood in closed to the pile and store it till winter. I would like to built a bit bigger at Bruno's and more a stick frame.

Nancy and I plan to come, number 8 and 9. I don't think we will get there in time for the Curved wood project, but look forward to seeing the one built.

I can come for the 4th but can't commit the time or $ for the garage.

I will be there on the 4th, hopefully the wife will come with me.  I am going to try like hell to make it for the 2nd and 3rd for the curved wood project.  If so I will be solo those two days.

I'm coming. If anybody needs anything from Logrite I can stop there again and bring it up to save the shipping
I believe in the hereafter, because every time I take two steps into the tool crib to get something I wonder " what did I come in here after"

If nothing else I'm always a good last resort or the guy to hold up as a bad example

I have a wedding to go to....

May the 4th be with you all!

Looks like it interferes with my annual ATV trip to my ADK camp with 5 or 6 pals.
Phooey!

Hopefully we can get more people interested in curved-woods idea and offer of building a small building. Anyone that hasn't seen his work should check it out I believe he has a website. It's quite an offer from an incredibly talented craftsman.
I will cover the costs of any fasteners that are needed.

Bruno and I have set the dimension of the garage Now I am working on the plans. The challenge is to do it in 3 days so I have to think about the construction details with that time frame. I expect the first day to be conventional stick wall framing for the one who wants to learn the basic. The 2 other days on the curved roof . 
 As for $$$, I could not accept any kind of money because I am a Canadian going in the US. Not even the room and board (I will have my camping gear and food ). I am very confortable with that and I will respect the law. My pay will be to share my passion, help other to built differently,  and I think that is legal ! So if people want to give money for the workshop, it will go for the building materials. It will be a workshop, so it will have a lot of content on how to, with more practice than theory.
Later, I will supply in this post more info so people will see what it is all about

I'd be interested in attending. What is the location?
