Scott and I are using this week to move forward on the Pushroot Community Garden Pavilion. We are using a version of the plumb bob scribe method to layout the bents. This structure has two bents, each w/ only one post. We are using some really big sticks for the posts. The pavilion was designed to use these two 12 x 26 salvaged Doug Fir posts. They came out of a old Amaco building in Casper Wyoming. The purlins will be from the same building and the other timbers are from the yard and assorted origins. In the photo you can see the monster post on the bottom and the brace above Scott's head and the rafter in the back. Here Scott is transferring the brace info (shape and faces) to the post. This is mostly based on the French method. Check back to find out when we will be raising this.
