after much frustration with internet explorer I now use Firefox to access the forums....please no followups on that topic but I have missed forum reading!

OK I have a first potential paid frame to cut....would be a 15' wide 16' to 20' long frame. King post truss. They want 12" deep top plates and also tie beams but want them to be flush at the top.

Jack's historic joinery guide has some suggestions. Dont want to do a gunstock post at all. I was thinking a 5" thick dovetail and am open to feedback or suggestions!
