in order to feel out timber joinery to see if it's something i can attempt on a large (house) scale, i'd like to see a smaller project through.
my plan is to simply halve the design in the back of steve chappell's "a timber framers workshop" which would leave me with a 12x12 structure roughly 11 ft. high. in order to keep the math simple i'd like to just halve the timber dimensions as well but it gets silly when the braces will be 1.5 inches thick.
so am i just building a model here or will it stand up to use?
