Here's a throwback to last fall, when we has some special guests to our #LakeofBays jobsite. At that time, we were in the early stages of framing a timber frame hybrid home. Man, does that ever feel like a long time ago! In the last photo you can see the timbers in place.

Chain mortisers make quick work of getting the mortises started for this Timber Frame Porch. We'll finish the cutting and clean them all up with a sharp chisel to ensure a tight joint. . . . .... . . . . . . . . . #chainmortiser #timberframesofinstagram #joinerywork #mortiseandtenon #woodisgood #ptbocanada #ptbo #kawarthas #peterboroughontario #handcrafted #timberframeshop #keepcraftalive #craftsmanship #timberframeporch

We've moved the timbers aside for the afternoon to install cantilever shelving! It may not seem that exciting, but this reno will make a world of difference for our storage capacity and efficiency in the shop, especially when we have multiple projects on the go. . . . .... . . #hotshop #woodshopreno #timberframe #ptbo #kawarthas #peterboroughontario #timberframeshop #sustainable #buildingefficiency #cantilever @ East City See more

This super hot weather makes me reminisce about a great weekend just one year ago where we raised a beautiful Cruck Frame at an estate in the New Jersey countryside. A Cruck Frame is an incredibly special sort of timber frame. Instead of using straight timbers, the frame features large curved timbers to create a beautiful archway. Each archway is made of 2 cruck blades, halved from the same tree and joined together at the top by a collar or tie-beam. Mike, together with some folks from #HeartwoodSchool designed and cut this Cruck Frame in fall 2018. It was exciting to install it in its final destination! @ Peterborough, Ontario
