More FHC awesomeness going on ‘round here! Great build thread and as usual (yet unusual beyond our forum, these days), excellent knowledge sharing! Fantastic thread/pics fuelrod & outstanding help PA Mountain Man
This (without all the crap in the way) shows what's going on a little better. Just starting to rain, they say the rest of the day into early morning. We need it.
I have a little sawing to do so figured I'd "try it on for size". Glad that I didn't shrink it down like I was thinking. This should work fine for me.
Those free timbers are turning out sweet! Being inexperienced I was worried about the size posts that I'd end up with after sawing the twist out of them. The space in my brackets is 6 7/8" to slide in. I've got about half of them cut to 6 7/8 x 7 1/2". They look nice with all new and clean faces. You can see the twist, look to the far side of the mill.
Sometimes I think I get more done when I don't have help. Nobody in the way or asking "Why don't you do it this way?"
I'm with you on that. I'll work through it.... as long as it's below around 80*. It's back to around 65* today.
We went from 59 up to 62 today with misty rain. Felt good workin outside after the heat and humidity this week.
Little by little. Only had a few hours after dinner today. These screws (thumbnail) are my "crack" I pre punched the holes and am using 6-4" screws and 6 5" pole barn nails per bracket. There "tighter" than I expected and not really concerned about bracing them
Best part about those kind of helpers(Equipment) they do not complain they just need a little TLC ( tons of labor and currency) once in a while but they sure make it easier JB
