Hello,
I'm about to start my second season as a timber framing apprentice. The first project of the summer involves building a timber frame consisting of 4 bents, all of which a hammer beam trusses. I have experience with H bents but have never layed out a hammer beam truss.
I would like to have some general understanding of laying out a hammer beam truss before I get to the shop.
Could anyone give me some quick pointers or a good reference.
Thanks,
Ian
