Cut your own timber frame- 3D plans
So, you think you want to cut your own frame? Well good for you! You're in for a wonderful time. It will be challenging no doubt, but believe us, it will be a challenge you will not soon forget. Crafting a Timber Frame is an incredibly gratifying experience. Taking a pile of minimally processed timbers and transforming them with your own hands and some simple tools, into something that will endure and be esteemed for generations provides us with a uniquely wonderful feeling. But building a timber frame is not just about "building", it's much more; It's about connecting with the past. It's about carrying on an age old craft that is part of our architectural history and keeping that history alive. It's about the intimate connection to the wood as we pare down a tenon with a finely honed chisel or test fit a brace to it's mortise and see a perfect fit. Cutting a timber frame is about taking the time to enjoy the process as much as the final product.
So let us help. We'll provide you with a detailed 3D model of any of our pre-designed frame kits. These 3D plans include all joinery and components,ready at your fingertips to cut your own frame. Made with the incredibly intuitive and amazingly easy to use and learn Google Sketchup (A free download), which is quickly becoming the industry standard for frame design. With our virtual 3D model you'll be able to manipulate individual components, explode frame members, extract all measurements, create accurate shop drawings and plan raising sequence before picking up a chisel. Price includes complete 3D model, timber schedule and up to 30 minute real time online meeting to familiarize you with Sketchup. $350.00
