Timberframing Tools





Here are some shots of the collection of hand tools that I'll use for cutting the joinery in the timberframe of our new home. For some more detail check out my other blog at www.morrisonwoodworks.ca

The Shop.

When I started this Blog I imagined I’d have the energy and ambition to experiment with an alternative building method in the construction of the woodshop. Instead I found a nice little pink house that someone needed removed from their property and had it moved to mine. Voila! Instant shop. Not exactly; I still need to remove all of the interior walls, add a larger door, insulate the floor, wire it and fix up the little bit of damage it sustained in the move. But there it is, an enclosed building with about 350 square feet of floor space… maybe a timber frame and straw bale addition down the road?
