Timber Frame Tuesday: Lap joints

 Good morning, it is a rainy timber frame tuesday, but work goes forward. I have been creating lap joints on 6x6 timbers to frame out an area for a playhouse. It is a slow process but it will make the finished product have a cleaner look.
  So as I sit here writing a few words I will map out the rest of the day and hopefully the weather will be good to me.
  For those that do not know what a lap joint is, it is when two pieces of timber have had equal amounts of material removed so that they can overlap and remain as one solid connection between two timbers that gives the appearance of one. Until tommorrow........

Have a great day!
