Study of a valley. On top of expanding my understanding of Stereotomy basics I learnt that my hand tools need an upgrade and my hand tool skills need practice. And maybe don’t choose maple for the most difficult piece.
King post & purlin: Douglas Fir
Valley : maple
Rafters: Zebrawood
What incompetencies have you found?
Good thing this 21” thick suspended slab hadn’t been placed yet.
Pre assembling apartment walls is much different than trim. Rough carpentry and finish carpentry are same skill with different tolerances. Just like rough framing looks just as good as rough finishing. 😂
I enjoy all aspects of carpentry, trim is just satisfying on a different level.
Most carpenters today don’t know how to use either to their full potential. Thoughts?
I don’t actually carry a framing square like this, but there is alway one available.
I discovered Hyspecs Protective Eyewear™️ just a couple years ago, I haven’t looked back since. I wear them every single day. Durable, comfortable, and versatile. Most important for me was the Rx (prescription) options. On top of that there’s a huge range of lens and frame options to match what you’re looking for and what you needs are.
