Stage 2 - level 1 frame assembly






I am very pleased indeed. The pre-cut timber frame elements all  fit. Measuring 27 times and cutting once has paid off! The 8 main columns, 6 roof beams & 4 tie beams are all in place, square and pegged together.  All that is left to do now is to fit the king posts atop the tie beams and install the ridge beams. The large domer window frames, which I was not confident enough to pre-cut will come next.
