Structural Roof Bracket Reproduction Show

I put a slideshow together of an interesting project from last year. It shows many of the steps in building brackets that were both structural and ornamental... timber framing meets woodworking.

Hope you enjoy it:

There were a couple of jigs in there (beading repeater and rosette jig)... but it sounds like some people don't need no stinkin' jigs.

Uhh... Thanks, I think.

Beautifal work. Every time I see your work I think we need more true craftsman.

Nice words, I work at being a craftsman and enjoy passing information along here to others with the same goal.

'Spandrel' has such a better ring to it than bracket.


Nice work, though . . .

Tom Struble

i thought spandrels was the running trim that went from post to post?

It's a pretty flexible term, - - it's usually a diagonal arch across a right angle.

But yes, what you said too, - - you're defining a porch spandrel.


Here's a definition of it in reference to furniture

A curved, triangular or shaped bracket fitted into an otherwise open corner.


It also defines the trianglular opening a staircase stringer forms underneath.


Another use is on 'spanned' bridges.


One of several architectural meanings is,

The approximtely triangular shape between the curve of an arch and the rectangular frame above it


It's most frequent use is on the triangles formed on series of arches in their corners . . .
