Hello everyone tonight

Hi DL

You will need a good pair of leather gloves to keep the blisters from getting to large--I know from experience that hewing the timbers even for this smallish building will try out even your master carpenter unless he is in really good shape or you do all the work, sometimes small doesn't always mean less work--smaller timbers are harder to hold and work with than larger ones.

It is going to be a tricky project to tackle first-- hewn timber and scribe rule layout is not easy at the best of times.

good luck

keep us informed
