Frame event 2010 Cressing Temple, Essex

This was a perfect venue for this event !

   

Outbuildings and practice targets for double head axes, Gransfors, mainly


Now let's rest a bit, wich one ? 



This one ?

Or this one ?


Pick one...

 The big mean joints breaking  machine

Broken joints, tenon and mortice on pulling...


 What ? Yeah, they stand a great force, double peg=5.5 t, 1 peg= 4 t

Over engineered, but very ugly and unsuitable in timber framing
but stud to 9.6 t

I like this one very much, stud to 4.6 t
 6 mm dried pine dowels !!!

And broken....


It has created a void in the back of the beam, strange...

More to break next year, ahh this year :)
