Greetings, Ken.
Pilgrims Hall sounds like a sight to behold! Regarding Steve Chappel's advice, he was referring to the situation where there are not stone buttresses. And due to a lack of clarity on my part, you misunderstood which brace I meant when referring a 'main brace'. I was actually referring to the point at which the brace supporting the Hammer Beam (from below)intersect the outside post.
