Timber Framers Guild Forums Training Classes and Workshops Cruck Framing workshop

Tim, if you ever get a chance to try one of the larger (250 mm of larger) swing blades...take advantage of the experience. I don't think you would be disappointed...Both systems have there advantages...together they more than facilitate small lumber operations...Now have used and owned both...if $$$ allows (swings are more money up front)...and only could have one mill...it would be a swing mill...

Here's an updated drawing of the 16' x 20' cruck frame we will be doing in our May 16–20 workshop:

There is still room in the course!

Thanks for sharing the drawing.

I'll see you on Thursday (that week).
