I can't find a link on Amazon for this, so I'm guessing it isn't sold anymore. There is nothing about my router that was critical to the project outcome. Any decent router should do.

Note: Even though you see this used in my video, it is unnecessary. It helps make fast cuts through thick material but is not as accurate as multiple cuts with the Skilsaw above. I attached it to a Dewalt corded circular saw.

I think I was able to get the job done only because I used various unconventional workarounds to compensate for a lack of experience / skill. For example, I’ve seen videos of guys cutting precise tenons via drop cut in like a tiny fraction of the time it took me using my approach. I think those folks and other professionals are good framers. I’m an amateur by comparison. That said, I really do appreciate the compliment.

Absolutely amazing, I have been inspired by you to build one of these structures and have a question for you if it’s no trouble. The only thing that I am having trouble figuring out is how you recessed the mortises with the router and what type of bit you used. It looks very simple when you do it but I am having some trouble figuring it out. And again I applaud you for a job very well done.

@LouisStorms Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the kind words! If you've not already done so, I recommend you learn the square rule. Here's an overview of the various layout rules. timberframehq.com/layout-rules/ Chapter 3 in this book covers the square rule, which I used. a.co/7zfZMk9. Centered brace housings are challenging. The depth of each housing is a function of the dimension of the timber in which it resides. Specifically, the distance from the housing face to its opposite side. For example, say your plans call for 8x8 posts and one-half-inch housings. You buy the timbers and discover that your posts are 7.75" x 7.75". If you put half-inch housings into your posts, your braces won't fit snugly in them. The length and width of each housing are a function of the brace dimensions. Each brace is different, so each housing is going to be unique. The only thing constant with centered brace housings is the location on the timbers of the load-bearing side of the housing. To deal with this challenge, I completed the braces (with tenons) and the mortises before the housings. I put each brace tenon into its corresponding mortise and traced around the brace on the timber to create the housing outline. I found that the location of the non-load bearing side of the housing was trial and error and depended on the brace width. If your plans call for 4x8 braces, but yours come in at 4x7.75", that 7.75" will reduce how tall your housing is in a post (when the post is viewed upright). Before starting my pavilion, I made many mockups using less expensive timbers. By mockups I mean, a single post and brace for example. I made many mistakes, but I made them in the mockups to learn and avoid them where it counts. Ok, so your question was what router bit to use. I felt compelled to provide the background above before answering. You can use any straight router bit with a bearing on top. The bit should be wide enough that you aren't spending 45 minutes on each housing but not so wide that you lose dexterity. It should be long enough to accommodate your deepest housing but not so long that you can't handle your shallowest housing. If possible, clamp a guide to your timber for each outside edge of your brace housings. Good luck!

I will back up your choice of music 😁 How much time did the overall project take you? Did you poor footers for the posts? How big is the structure? I may have more questions coming. Coincidently been flowing similar path to yours. I purchased the Learn to Timber Frame book and have checked out from the library Timber Frame Construction, Timber Frame for the Rest of Us and Wood Frame House Construction. Also been looking to buy plans from Timber Frame HQ. I’m looking to build a 14’x16’ pavilion in our large side yard next to kids playground I just built. Never have done anything like this, I am debating between Timber Frame vs Post and Beam (hard-wear). One sucky part in my neck of the woods is that I have to pull permit for such structures. I have to say that all those tools sure makes it go a bit smoother. As you I love my tools and always find an excuse of the project to expand the collection. These are very specific though and tough to swallow the price. Wish there was a way to rent them for a project... 😜😇

@LouisStorms 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the support. I spent about a year, on and off, planning and practicing on inexpensive wood before I started the final project. From wood delivery to the completed frame, including roof deck, was 1.5 months. When I bought my house, it came with a 12x24 slab supporting a pergola in disrepair. I removed the pergola and repurposed the slab. Like you, I considered various alternatives to a timber frame. In the end, I couldn't resist the challenge of it, and I felt like I'd be happier with no visible hardware. As for the tools, I could have dedicated an entire video to the various ways I tried (and failed) to create a repeatable process for making reasonably fast and accurate mortises WITHOUT a chain mortiser. The chain mortiser is by far the most expensive tool I've ever purchased. As you pointed out, they aren't available to rent, but the resale value seems to hold reasonably well, so you could buy one and then resell it after the job is complete. Another option for mortises is to use the drill guide jig concept. If you haven't seen it, check out my drill guide jig video. Another guy suggested in a comment that the drill guide jig might work well for mortises. I have no idea why that didn't occur to me at the time.

Hi Louis Amazing project. Working on mine in the design phase and I am now moving to the sketchup phase and structural engineering of the beams. Do you offer a copy of your sketchup drawings of your project on your website ? So I can alter them for my design ! Also. What are the full dimensions of your beams and posts ? Mine carport will be approximately 32’ wide and 24’ deep for three cars. I’m in Lake Tahoe so there is a snow load. My next project after the deck is finished soon. Thanks for the encouragement!

~ $13K total before tax, including the pine T&G roof deck. Note that I used "clear" WRC for the posts, ties, and braces. Had I gone with "knotty" cedar, as I did for the rafters, the total cost would have come down to ~$9.5K.

What did you use to seal the timbers? I'm getting ready to build mine out of Douglas fir but cannot seem to get an answer on what is the best way to protect the finish from weather and sun. Any input would be greatly appreciated? Btw, great job on your build!

@LouisStorms 2 жыл бұрын

I’m not sure if what we did is the “best” way to protect the finish but here’s what we used on the big timbers. 1. Olympic Deck Brightener & Wash or Behr Premium All-In-One Wood Cleaner 2. Minwax Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner for Oil-Based Stains 3. Custom Tinted - Sherwin Williams Super Deck - Oil Based Exterior Deck Stain - Semi-Transparent Note that the stain we picked for the timbers didn’t match when applied to the yellow pine roof deck so we ended up using a different color stain for the roof deck so it would match.
