We're probably the only mid-sized construction company without ANY machinery.

Re: Radius Jig For Cutting 2x Rafters


Looks like you are having all the fun up there in western NY. It don't look much like December though. When did you take these pics?

You are getting to do a little timber framing huh? I love that kinda stuff too. Crafty exposed framing for generations to admire.

Looks like the planer knives were dinged up pretty good though. Whats the plan about finishing those timbers?

We are getting some serious lucky weather!!

We got the second floor walls up today, and we're setting the ridge tomorrow. Once we get a good fit on our upper rafters, our mill will start banging them out. With a little luck we'll be setting rafters next week

This could have been the least amount of snow in November on record.

This is a fun project...SMALL, but it's the kind that reminds us why we do what we do!!

Much of this is being done on the fly...The HOer has a bunch of reclaimed materials and has an idea, but he comes every wednesday to make decisions.....so, last I heard, that "is" stain grade, but with a natural finish....

what a circus meeting days are...Architect, designer, PM, foreman, owner...I'll try to sneak a pic tomorrow

Better hurry,you guys will be shoveling snow pretty quick.

I'm liking the framing details that are starting to show up.

Curious as to how the second set of exposed timbers are fastened after setting them in the notched beam?

Re: Radius Jig For Cutting 2x Rafters


Make sure with that rim on the wall you cover the entire plumb cut on you rafters.

So who is gonna sand out all those planer nicks up in the air like that? That job will be an arm burner.
What do ya think, Warner, time for a Rotex?

Man, if those things were sent through a wide belt they would be super sweet smooth and consistent. Is there any end snipe you are dealing with?
