Episode 9: Your Questions Answered – Schools, Pegs, Boxed Heart, Remodeling
In this episode we take sometime to answer some of the questions that you have been asking on the site. Topics range from remodeling, pegs, what school to go to and whether boxed heart timbers are ok to use. At the end of the show, I talk a little bit about the SE Regional Timber Framers Guild Meeting. Enjoy.
Gary – Asks
I’d like to know if you have any recommendations on schools or instruction on learning timber framing.
Russ – Asks
Would very much like more detail on the pegs.
George Day – Asks
I am considering remodeling my 1976 ranch style house and would like to incorporate some timber frame features into the addition. Any advice on tying in the timber frame to the existing traditionally built structure?
Structural or non structural
Think through the options and make sure the timber are supported correctly. Timbers are not light things and it often makes more sense to make them structural. Especially in the roof system creating trusses, while they maybe for show they make be imparting loads on your framing.
James – Asks
Hey Brice. I hope your day is going well. In response to the question, the best way I know to answer that would be in a story. Remember, you asked….
A long story short, boxed out hearts for timbers, will it work as I think it will?
