Building a Timber Frame Truss for the First Time!

Check out how we built our 1st timber frame truss for a porch project on one of our projects.  After building a timber frame truss, I am inspired to learn more about joinery...and actually do it vs simple structural lag screws.  I was asked by our client for a timber frame look on the front of their porch with out the cost associated.  So I came up with a simple but effect process off the top of my head and am excited how well it turned out.  Math never lies, and the joints and cuts are a perfect example of that.  

Stay tuned as I have some other future timber frame ideas for the future.  If you have some good info, drop it below in the comments.  

Also, I have a code for the Iso Tunes I am wearing and have been really enjoying.  If in need of some good bluetooth hearing protection, check them out and save some money.
