here you can see my tie beams. the one on the left in the center one (bent 2), everyhting is allright with it, it's going to get tenon and mortise knee braces. but the two next beams on the right are the tie beams for bent 1 and 3 and they are going to be lapped dovetail knee braced. you can observe the mortiser cut (4 of them) on the beam with the brush. that's where I need to fit my braces as mentionned in the post before..
