Timber Framing a North Idaho Cabin. A blow-by-blow account of building a small timber frame cabin in the North Idaho woods. Friday, May 18, 2007. In late April, I attended a timber framing workshop at Grand Oaks Timber Framing. Below, you can see RJ starting to cut some dovetail mortises using a Makita chain mortiser. That mortiser is a fantastic tool! It saves considerable time (I now own one). :-). Below, Scott is checking some measurements on a timber. Remember, measure 22 times before cutting! The mo...

Timber Framing a North Idaho Cabin. A blow-by-blow account of building a small timber frame cabin in the North Idaho woods. Sunday, September 30, 2007. The metal roof is essentially done! Just in the nick of time, too. The forcast is rain, rain, rain for about 10 days. It has felt like a bit of a sprint these last weeks, trying to get the roof up. I am *so* happy that it is finally up. I think it turned out pretty well. Now on to temporary walls and siding. Posted by neuwave @ 8:36 PM. Links to this post.

Timber Framing a North Idaho Cabin. A blow-by-blow account of building a small timber frame cabin in the North Idaho woods. Sunday, March 25, 2007. I called up Peter and Matt, and we headed out on a rainy and cold Sunday morning. Matt and I will share the logs. Peter just came out for the fun and to be supportive. Peter and Rob cut the fallen trees into logs and cleaned up some of the slash. It was slow and tedious work. This trailer rocks. Many thanks to Mike for allowing us to borrow it! We cut most of...

Timber Framing a North Idaho Cabin. A blow-by-blow account of building a small timber frame cabin in the North Idaho woods. Sunday, July 22, 2007. I've (re)finished all of the braces finally. The only pieces left to cut are the roof system (rafters and purlins). Its time to test-fit the walls and bents, draw the timbers tight with rachet-straps and drill the 1" peg holes.

Timber Framing a North Idaho Cabin. A blow-by-blow account of building a small timber frame cabin in the North Idaho woods. Tuesday, February 27, 2007. However, since it was already dark outside, Caleb could not remove the tree that night. So, he tethered the spruce tree to an adjacent spruce tree with a large rope and called it good for the night. We all called it an evening and hoped that the wind would die down. The tree was leaning noticeably to the East. In addition to a 6' log that Caleb lopped off...

Timber Framing a North Idaho Cabin. A blow-by-blow account of building a small timber frame cabin in the North Idaho woods. Monday, January 22, 2007. Logging and milling are all on hold right now. The weather conditions are still prohibitive due to snow pack and associated road conditions. I am also waiting on Jon to have time to mill, probably sometime in February. The mill has some kind of minor hydraulic leak as well, which is also troublesome. Posted by neuwave @ 10:28 AM. Links to this post. NOTE: F...

Timber Framing a North Idaho Cabin. A blow-by-blow account of building a small timber frame cabin in the North Idaho woods. Tuesday, December 26, 2006. We had a second severe windstorm in the Pacific Northwest. This windstorm was much more severe, and caused over a million people in the NW to lose power for a long period of time. In fact, my family and I lost power for several hours during the storm. We managed to brute force and finesse 17 logs of different weights and diameters onto my trailer and ulti...
