May 4th, all goes well 2 of us hope to be there, (my wife and I). Should be an interesting day!

I would really like to come and the curved wood class makes it really a bummer that I can't. I would love to take part in that.  I've been trying to get to Jake's for years and this year things came around to where I can commit to doing it. Problem is I cannot do both. I wanted to go to Logrite's open house as well.

[Bruno of NH]

I wish we could figure a way. 
Curved wood and the others are great folks
It's going to be a blast

Yippee my atv weekend is April 25,26,27
So I am back on track.
If we need to bring food I will bring Bob's Red Mill gr**s

[A-z farmer]

This sounds like an exciting gathering.
The Mrs and I will bee there on May 4th.
Bruno let us know what we can bring from food to lumber .Ido not understand all this talk of grits ,
We have always given grits to the chickens so they can grind up their food in their gizzard.
Thank you 
Zeke

Motels in the area?
Is there a set agenda?

[Bruno of NH]

There is a Motel in New London NH 
That folks stayed at the September sawing benefit for me.

We stayed at the Lamplighter motel in New London last fall when we went to Bruno's.  Not expensive, we liked it, would stay there again.

 Day 1
Built the floor on floating blocks. Raise the wall using stick framing technique. Giving theory about stick framing using  the book : Canadian Wood-frame House Construction publish by the Canadian Gov and free on line.


 

Day 2
Build a curved roof ridge with pine board. Technique how to get smooth curves. Put up the roof structure including the bracings.


<br



 
Day 3
Put the board on the roof. Techniques how to trace and cut the edges curved. Put the asphalt shingles and how to put it because of the rain running in 2 directions.
Depending on the weather and the number of participants, we will try to put the bulging siding, a very simple technique. Here is an exemple of curved edges


 

[Bruno of NH]

Ok folks I'm in a pickle 
I went out and sawed today.
It didn't go so good very slow.
So here is the pickle part
I want the curved wood build to happen. 
At this rate I will never get the list sawn out. 
I have most of the logs.
Is there someone near me that I could pay to bring their mill in to help saw the list with me.
I'm going to go to Pete's to buy (4) 6×6×12 hemlock for the base as I don't have hemlock logs that long.
I'm not looking for a free-b 
Bruno

[Bruno of NH]

The sawing would be pine boards
Hemlock,spruce and fir 2x4x8 and some 2x4x12
The 12' stuff I will cut the logs off my lot

[beav]

I could probably help. However:
My driveway is in the midst of mud season. We could sneak it out some morning after a freezing night. Sposta do that next week.
My truck is dead, someone else would have to haul it.
I could walk the saw head back and forth but I will need help off bearing as I am a physical wreck.
I still have some blades Peter gave me after the fall shindig, I could cut for a very favorable rate.
I live about 15 miles away.
I would like to help and it would give me an excuse to witness Claude' s magic

[Bruno of NH]

Beav
I can come get your mill
And get a helper and get you more bands

[beav]

Awesome!! Didn't all those little details melt away! I wrote down my phone # on the guest list you had last fall. Gonna be fun...

[Jim_Rogers]

Let me know what day you're planning on doing it and I'll see if I can come up and help as well.
