Timber Framers Guild Forums General General Forum Questions When to drill peg holes?

I saw couple of videos on the net where people drill all through the joineries the raising day, having joints tight using come along and heavy duty ratchet tie down straps.

Should we offset also the peg hole when the timbers are dried already or is that solution with come along and straps is good enough?

For my own project, I though about using that second method to avoid creating too much tension on tenons.
