My first bent I hope this works

[GearDrive]

I started assembling my first bent for a post and beam garage. I bought a set of plans from the BarnGeek, and modified them to my liking. I upgraded the post sizes from 6x6 to 8x8, Rafters from 6x8 to 8x8, and tie beams from 6x10 to 8x10. I took out the knee wall so the rafter sits on the tie beam. I didn't want any load to be handled by any fastener, only the beams stacked on top of each other.

I wanted the braces to lock into the post and beams so I made a couple simple cuts into them and screwed the braces into the notches.
