Timber Framing is a fantastic way to build strong, lasting structures and practice basic woodworking joinery on a large scale with fairly large margins of error (aka - a great learning opportunity).

This is a basic shed design that makes use of mortise and tenon, half-lapped and pegged joints. Lag bolts can be used for added strength, but are not necessary. Even though we used fresh sawn materials from Greg's sawmill, this is a great project for big box store lumber as well.

If you're in need of a garden pergola, a wood shed, a place to store your lawnmower, this is a great weekend project that will last a really, really long time.
