This morning I took my German friends to the airport at 5.30am after a most wonderful and inspirational 2 weeks. Michail and Hannes helped me to build a new timber framed wood store, the process was a real eye opener. Timber framing involves hard and skilled manual work, an eye for beauty but also a remarkable amount of careful planning, geometry and precise measurement. The vast majority of the work goes into preparing the timbers and making all the joints up on the ground then in just a few hours the frame is all put together, I am absolutely delighted with the finished frame, Nicola did a youtube video on raising day.

That looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for the video.
Brilliant stuff, what’s the next stage in the process?
it was a lot of fun, I am going to cut another larch up on Saturday to weatherboard the one end where the wind always blows from and cut laths for the roof, hopefully it will be finished next week.
