This is the beam that helps keep the rafter from flexing under load while resisting spreading. I made it with a half-lap dovetail joint pegged with an oak trenail (peg).

This is the corner above the "cure couch" the knee brace keeps the weight of the roof from flexing the post above the joint for the first bent.

This is the south post on the 2nd bent. You can see the joists going into the main beam as well as the brace which protects the shouldered tongue which goes into the post.

I'm not visually artistic, I'm aurally artistic, but I've posted a couple of links to some of the work I've done and didn't get any response. Either I suck, or the file size is intimidating...

aurally + artistic = autistic ?

Thank you Mr. Griff !!!!!
I have seen your web site with the pics of you makeing your house . How did you get the design for the house ?? did you make it , or did you hire the design out ??
This is what I like , functional art

Griff · 12-25-2003, 03:42 PM

You're welcome zip! Considering the number of hours I've put into her, I'm always happy to explain what I've been tooling away at. I read the books and designed the frame around what we wanted to include. A professional architect would have kept me out of trouble but its not the same as doing the whole process.

(I do not own a book case. I have enough books to stock a library. I have floors and what the apt. manager idenfied as a "linen closet".)

Sorry, I don't think I have any Baen SF or Tony Hillerman. It seems to be mostly Ace, Bantam, Del Rey, or Tor SF.

It is primarily everything I could get by Larry Niven and Neil Gaiman, sprinkled with some Tolkien, Asimov, E.E. "Doc" Smith, Stephen Donaldson, Neal Stephenson, and Robert Anton Wilson.

There's another (Ikea-style) bookshelf in another room. It's got textbooks, reference books, children's books, and a full shelf of books I haven't read yet. Both shelves are almost full, so my dad and I are in the process of making a new one 8 feet wide by 6 feet tall. Should last a while.

Coming up soon: My enertainment center.
