thanks dave!
i think 'timber frame construction' is one of the books that i read through from the library. i will look at buying both of sobons books.
looks like i have quite a few of the tools needed. i should get a few more chisels though. and a boring machine.
would a stanley #10 be the right plane for cleaning up tenons of this scale?
what advantages does a slick have over a tf chisel? i have a couple of vintage 2-3" ovb chisels. whould a slick be that nessessary?
any way thanks again! i am really looking forward to making this happen.
cheers,
ryan
