Poland

Are you all following the Poland adventure? Looks like a great time, I bet they are tired at the end of the day.

Thanks for the link! Sure hope a lot of video is being taken
If the guild put out a DVD with video and pictures from this project, I'd be first in line to buy it!

I love to see hewing techniques, ever on the look for ways to improve and adapt my own methods. The large section removal method seems wonderful to me, I'll have to try it out!

Thanks for your good wishes.

We are struggling to document this thoroughly; Internet connectivity has been spotty.

The pro film crew arrives this week - and while they will have missed some things, and we won't see the fruits of their labor for a year or more, it's still the right thing to do.

And yes, they are tired at the end of the day. And then they go to TFG Night School. Tonight is a presentation contrasting journeyman training in UK, DDR, and US, by guys who have been through the programs.

Hi Joel & Ed,

The Skansen visit thread shows an ancestral scarf / lap joint in image IMG_0829 under the Skansen visit thread.

How does this (apparently) in line log joint work ?

Regards

thanks for the link Tim. Being born and raised in Warsaw, I'll be watching this one closely.
And koodos to TFG for taking on this project...looks like an adventure of a lifetime

a very cool project indeed.

joel asked me to be involved pushing out some sketchup work, and i was honored to be involved. i'll post up some jpgs of the shop drawings later tonight or tomorrow.

really enjoying the blog, and following along.

Mike is being way too modest.

He's been saving our butts.

Thanks Joel. Was honored that you folks sought me out for the work, truly.

Here are a few snaps of the shop drawings.

I took the engineering model and did the joinery and cleanup in SketchUp, then placed the model in LayOut to detail, dimension, etc.

Wow, looks like fun. Wish I was there.

Fantastic work, Mike! I'd love to see some of the details, but the click-to-enlarge does not seem to be working.

Thanks Clark, try right click 'View in new tab' or something similar, depending on which browser you are in.

I'll collect them up and get them into a gallery, in a larger format. Check back later today.

Here's a gallery link. Should be able to see larger images...
