Horseshoe for playing horseshoes, not real ones. I'll either add a chunk of steel to the back of the treadle, or a bungee cord to the top of the arm. Chunk of steel would be less conspicuous.

My equipment shed, slow progress but its progress. Pressing my luck to see if I can beat the snow this year.

Pegs. From the building site, back in to the frame.

We've been doing some post repairs, this is the second shortening of them in the past 30 years or so. I'm no stone mason but poured a footing to act as a curb to keep water out from under the building then a little stonework to get up out of the splash better and blend better than raw concrete. For this kind of work I make a back form, this one is making a 16" thick wall, then lay a stone face with mortar and fill to the inside form with concrete bag mix  We shortened about 18" this time.



This is the top of the chunk we removed. The mill was built in 1875, the ~10x10 white oak post was tight ringed, no sapwood and about 210 rings showing. The white trails are powderpost beetles. The owners went for more solubor yesterday and are doing it up.


 



That round post I'm using for a temporary jack post is a chunk of chestnut that was floating around under there.

Just put up this pole barn. Not a timber frame building but the first structure on the property I've been working on for the last 2 years

Cedar T&G on the exposed ceilings today. The wall is a temp - removable section set on pins so we can use a boom/forklift to reach the interior.

Thank you. I've been lurking for a year or two on the forum, reading this and that, just hadn't joined yet. But getting more towards the house build I might have questions, and I've sawed a little bit of lumber in my day but haven't really needed to grade it for meeting codes, so just getting more familiar with the forums and members in case I can contribute something or receive advice. Glad to be on here!

Finally got my horse run in up. Rafters this weekend.

Hey Frank, what sort of truck is that? Is this you're business?

Frank11

Its an International with a 10 to National, had it for about 13 years now.
Keep it real!

I've been looking at getting an international flat bed with a national crane fixed behind the cab. I'd love to get more into log building (never done it) but also timber frames, small panelized buildings. 

One user here mentioned that it all depends on the location. But I'm thinking he probably doesn't do what you do or what I'm thinking about doing. 

Would you say it's a very valuable asset? Looking at your photos I'd say yes right?
