#offcut joinery

[panharmonium]

Hi, hope I'm not bothering you. I just reblogged some of your (precious) Daegal art, and of course, I had to read the fic that went with it. When I got to one called 'Tournaments', it keeps giving a broken link. So I was wondering if you had or would be willing to share the full version of it? If not, no problem. And either way, have a good day.

Hi! Thanks so much for asking. I wish I had a copy of that one, but "Tournaments" was written by a lovely friend of mine from the Merlin fandom whose blog has since been deleted. The majority of that fic was under a cut on their blog, so I can't access it anymore. The first few paragraphs are still viewable on my reblog of the fic, as well some excerpts that I pulled out when I was commenting on it, but I (very unfortunately) did not save a full copy of it before the blog was deactivated.

Sorry I couldn't help with that! I'm glad you're enjoying the rest of the Daegal stuff, though - we had a ton of fun with that AU, and I still love it a lot! <3

The Environmental Benefits of Timber Framing Homes

Timber framing, an ancient building technique that uses large, heavy timbers joined together with pegs and joints, has been experiencing a resurgence in popularity due to its environmental benefits. Timber framing homes, also known as post-and-beam construction, offer a sustainable alternative to conventional building methods. In this article, we will explore the environmental advantages of timber framing homes.

Renewable Resource: One of the key environmental benefits of timber framing is that wood is a renewable resource. Unlike steel or concrete, which require large amounts of energy to produce, timber can be sustainably harvested from forests. When managed properly, forests can be replenished through planting and natural regeneration, ensuring a continuous supply of timber for construction.

Carbon Sequestration: Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in their wood. By using timber in construction, we are effectively sequestering carbon, keeping it out of the atmosphere where it would contribute to climate change. This carbon remains locked in the wood even after it is harvested and used in a building, making timber framing a carbon-negative building method.

Energy Efficiency: Timber framing homes are known for their energy efficiency. Wood is a natural insulator, providing excellent thermal performance. This means that timber framing homes require less energy for heating and cooling, reducing their carbon footprint over the life of the building. Additionally, timber has a lower embodied energy compared to materials like steel or concrete, further reducing its environmental impact.

Durability and Longevity: Timber framing homes are known for their durability and longevity. When properly maintained, timber structures can last for centuries. This longevity reduces the need for frequent replacement and the associated environmental impact of manufacturing new materials.

Minimal Waste: Timber framing construction produces minimal waste compared to other building methods. The precision of the joinery and the ability to prefabricate components off-site reduce the amount of waste generated during construction. Additionally, timber offcuts and waste can often be recycled or repurposed, further reducing the environmental impact of timber framing.

Biodegradability: At the end of its life, timber is biodegradable, meaning it can be safely returned to the environment without causing harm. This is in contrast to materials like plastic or concrete, which can persist in the environment for hundreds or even thousands of years.

In conclusion, timber framing homes offer a range of environmental benefits that make them a sustainable choice for modern construction. From their renewable nature and carbon sequestration capabilities to their energy efficiency and minimal waste production, timber framing homes are a testament to the potential of sustainable building practices. By choosing timber framing, we can reduce our impact on the environment and build a more sustainable future for generations to come.

Timber Framing in Modern Construction

In today’s rapidly evolving world of commercial construction, where steel and concrete are common, there’s a timeless beauty and enduring strength found in the age-old craft of timber framing. While modern building techniques offer efficiency and convenience, the resurgence of timber framing represents a return to tradition, offering numerous benefits that go beyond aesthetics. From sustainable practices to customizable designs, incorporating timber framing into modern construction projects is a choice that resonates with both the heart and the mind.

Honoring Tradition, Building for the Future Timber framing, an ancient building method dating back centuries, involves crafting structures using heavy timber posts and beams connected with traditional joinery techniques. While this method may seem archaic, its popularity in modern construction speaks volumes about its enduring appeal. By embracing timber framing, architects, builders, and business owners pay homage to centuries of craftsmanship while creating structures that stand the test of time.

Sustainability at the Forefront In an era marked by environmental consciousness, timber frames emerge as a sustainable alternative to conventional building materials. Timber is renewable and boasts a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to steel or concrete. Additionally, timber frame construction often involves minimal waste, with offcuts and byproducts finding secondary uses or serving as fuel for biomass energy. By promoting timber framing, we, as a General Contractor, align our projects with eco friendly and sustainable building practices. 

Strength and Durability Contrary to some misconceptions, timber frame structures are exceptionally strong and durable. Engineered timber, such as glulam (glued laminated timber) and CLT (cross-laminated timber), offer impressive strength-to-weight ratios, rivaling that of steel and concrete. Furthermore, the natural properties of wood, such as its ability to flex and absorb shock, make timber frame buildings resilient against seismic activity and extreme weather conditions. By harnessing the inherent strength of timber, builders create structures that not only endure but thrive in challenging environments.

Design Flexibility and Customization One of the most alluring aspects of timber framing is its unparalleled design flexibility. Unlike prefabricated steel structures, timber framing allows for intricate, customizable designs that showcase the artistry of the craft. From soaring cathedral ceilings to intricate truss systems, timber frame construction offers endless possibilities for creativity and personalization. Moreover, timber’s warm, organic aesthetic adds character and charm to any space, creating inviting environments that stand out amidst the monotony of modern architecture.

Timeless Beauty, Modern Appeal In a world dominated by cookie-cutter construction, timber framing offers a refreshing departure from the ordinary. Its timeless beauty and rustic elegance evoke a sense of warmth and authenticity that resonates with people across generations. Whether used in residential homes, commercial spaces, or public structures, timber frame construction exudes a sense of craftsmanship and heritage that captivates the imagination. By incorporating timber framing into modern building projects, architects and builders infuse their creations with a sense of soul and character that sets them apart from the rest.

In an age where innovation often overshadows tradition, the presence of timber framing in modern construction reminds us of the enduring allure of age-old craftsmanship. By embracing timber framing, we not only create structures of exceptional strength and beauty but also contribute to a more sustainable and resilient built environment. As we look to the future, let us not forget the lessons of the past, and may timber framing continue to inspire awe and admiration in the hearts of all who behold its timeless elegance.

@once-and-future-gay @panharmonium I just learned the Joe Dempsie (Will) is one inch shorter than Alfie Stewart (Daegal) and just. I’m fascinated by the implications this has for the Will and Daegal live au????????

Because Daegal would not realize this. Like at all. He does not carry himself at his full height and Will has tall energy. Will also wouldn’t notice at first, but then Daegal straightens up one time, or they’re standing next to each other and Will notices and his brain just fully stops.

Like I’m picturing him bursting into Merlin’s room to try all “When the fuck did Daegal get taller than me is this new? did you know about this??” And Merlin’s just like “Yeah? He’s always been that tall? Did you? Not? Realize?” and Will just kinda stands there as all he thought he knew crumbles around him.

I made a jig for my table saw which helped me cut double bridal joints on those massive walnut legs. I used offcuts of melamine and CA glue and screws. Cutting had to be done in several passes. DRO on my fence helped set the exact positions. It's the second time I'm using this method and it works very well. #woodworkingproject #woodworkingtutorial #woodworkingvideo #woodworking #choob #hardwood #jig #walnut #tablesaw #joinery #doublebridal #woodcraft #woodart #maker #woodworker #marcenaria #wood #furniture #furnituredesigner #furnituremaking #hêtre #holzbearbeitung #woodjoint #joineryshop #muebles #meble #bespokefurniture #custommade #finefurniture #customfurniture (at Alexandria, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLUK7JNjR4t/?igshid=vy2hqki5nta0

You don’t need a large space to create a personal, meaningful home, just look at the dreamy apartment of YSG director, Yasmine Ghoniem! 

The designer’s Bondi apartment is just 55 square metres, but every inch is infused with her personality, distinct style, and exceptional use of colour.

Yasmine bought this apartment with her husband Tom Swanson as their first home in 2017. Despite its worn carpet, vinyl, and purple paint, the couple saw potential in its sensible layout (featuring no common walls or internal corridor, ensuring no wasted space) and high ceilings.

Six months of renovations (and numerous design tangents!) followed, although the overall vision remained constant. ‘The emotive sentiment was always the same: creating a retreat where feelings speak far louder than the furnishings,’ Yasmine says. 

The interiors were completely overhauled, including new architectural cornices, skirting, bedroom and bathroom joinery. The kitchen was also redone, resulting in Yasmine’s favourite room in the house.

‘It was the most difficult to configure because it was like trying to stuff an elephant into a matchbox,’ Yasmine says of the kitchen. ‘The palette’s fresh and punchy, but neutral enough to not tire of quickly. The lighter peach ceiling makes it soar upwards.’

Opposite the kitchen is the new built-in living room lounge that Yasmine chose instead of a traditional sofa, so as not to overwhelm the space. ‘I had to economise on furniture selections so as not to clutter the floors and walls too much… This way I could control ratios,’ she explains. 

If you’re familiar with Yasmine’s work, you’ll know colour is everything, and her home is no exception. ‘No blonde woods and maritime or navy blues, and certainly no all-white palette – that’s sooo not YSG!’ she says. 

Dulux and Porter’s Paints underpin most spaces, layered with stone offcuts on ledges, vintage textiles, and eclectic furniture pieces. A delightful feature is the painted kitchen and entry floor – a richly detailed tapestry of salmon pink, hand-painted on the original timber floorboards by long-term YSG collaborators, Creative Finish Sydney. 

‘At its very core, my outlook is nourished by the layers of my culture’ says Yasmine of her design aesthetic. ‘Mum’s Australian, Dad’s Egyptian, and I grew up between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, with a few years in between in Australia and a stint in America for studies and work post my schooling days,.’

While a feast for the eyes, this richly layered, tactile space is also remarkably comfortable, inviting Yasmine and Tom to flop into a state of complete relaxation when they swing open their front door.

Yasmine says the home only continues to improve over time, in keeping with her design ethos. ‘Every space I design always looks better six to 12 months after I hand over the keys because humans leave the most incredible scents and traces. You can’t buy that.’

why a wood burning stove

They look great! A wood burning stove in your living room is an attractive focal point – and perfect for sitting around on those cold winter nights. They also make a sound investment, adding to the value of your property. Shorter term they will save you money. Wood burning stoves cut up to 40% off of heating bills and can pay for themselves in 3-4 years.

As the stoves use a renewable energy source they are good for the environment, and dry wood is one of the cheapest heating fuels. You’ll be helping your local economy along by buying logs – or perhaps you can even grow or source your own wood for free!

Don’t worry if you live in a smoke control area. We have a large range of DEFRA approved stoves that are perfectly ok for smokeless zones.

When fitting a wood burning stove it is likely that we will need to carry out chimney re-lining on your property first. Stoves legally require an efficiency rating of 65% or higher, which ensures that the chimney will safely take up flue gasses and exhaust materials. We will carry out a thorough inspection to see if flue lining or flue relining is required.

All that’s left is to find yourself a supply of wood! Garden centres, tree surgeons… There are countless specialist wood fuel suppliers around. If you want to go for reclaimed sources then joinery firms will have plenty of offcuts that only get thrown away otherwise.

And choose logs that have been seasoned for at least two years. They have a lower moisture content so prove more efficient and give a higher heat output. They also produce very little smoke and help reduce the build-up of tar in the flue.

Interested so far? Please get in touch if you’re… warming to the idea.
