All the trusses done for bens barn. It’s amazing to think all this wood was a pile of logs a month or so ago. James and I have been working very hard to keep on schedule, now it’s time to going on holiday for a week. #timberframe #carpentry #barn #douglasfir #morticeandtenon #woodporn #woodworking #wood (at Ashburton, Devon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuvztkwHdlv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1aq9c9xa90xnp

Japanese pull saws are great for cutting the slots for wedged tenons. If you want to learn furniture making take a look at my courses on my website.

Had a wonderful day making our first baskets with the amazing @hilaryburns . In exchange for teaching, Hilary will make a stool in April. I have a new level of respect for basketry, such a complex and beautiful craft with endless possibilities. @islajoy_middleton #skillswap #basketry #willowweaving #craft #3dweave (at Totnes) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpgwMSCnClU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gldfsvc9q8bk
