I am at the point in the design process were I need to decide which method to use for my frame. The frame is a pre 16th century english frame in oak. I will be doing most of the work myself with some help from friends and a few framers with experience. I have a limited amount of time to build. The frame must be completed with in one year. I will be using a chain mortiser for this reason.I am leaning toward scribe rule for historical reasons. I was wondering if anyone had any preferences for one method over the other. What do you like or dislike. Any input that would give me a perspective from an experienced point of view would be appreciated.
