For cleaning up tenons and through mortises try a large farrier’s rasp - often easier than a plane and cheaper than a slick. A farrier’s rasp is light weight and fits in your toolbox.
Ruler, hammer, chisel, pull saw, hand planer...that's all I ever saw watching Japanese traditional framing of temples. And I think that is all one really needs...anything more is a luxury.
See totally respect the point your making an I bet that was a proper treat to see too. I envy you that exp. But for me when I finally get to build an earth ship hopefully with some timber frame element's I'll haveeeee to use some power tools to cut time down cos got autistic kid's lol. So anything to help make it easier cos I'm Gona love it
one of the best on point video's on the subject that has my priority right now happens to end up with the best disclaimer I've ever seen in video no joke
I’ve just come across your channel today after looking for timber frame builders. I am building a large garage/workshop in my back garden this year and hope to it from a boat load of reclaimed yellow pine and pitch pine. These were roof timbers, trusses and purlins from an industrial factory. I might do some videos myself during the build. Great video thanks.
Always interesting to see other shops. I use the chain mortiser , Mikita, to cut tenons and shoulders as well. I am lucky to live in Western Canada with lots of towering softwood. I cut and mill my own timbers and a 12 metre 8x8 is easy to come by, moving it through the forest is a little tricky. Even with the option I still use a scarf so I don’t need to handle such a monster.
Thanks for the video (and the series). Building a timber frame workshop / surfboard / windsurf / bike storage whatnot is next summer's project. I've been spurred on by your videos. If all else fails, it means I'll be able to buy a load more tools (to fill up said building). In the past I've built a few saw horses to your design - the down side is that don't fold flat, but if you have enough, they stack vertically, so the lack of folding isn't an issue.
Thanks for your insight into timber framing. The shop is a real treasure. One comment, I think you mentioned being able to do it with bench chisels. I’ve found the long reach of the Sorby (or other brand) timber framing chisels makes paring and cleaning out mortises much easier (and quicker) since I can register the flat side with the bevel up instead of working at an angle with the bevel down. A slick with the angled handle has also helped with repairs in some tight, awkward corners (although I cut costs by just using an offset bench chisel since blade length was not an issue).
Recommend if you're doing more timber framing, make templates for checking your mortice and tenons, just plywood shapes for quickly checking for interference/high spots.
Tim just watched Robin Clevett’s video on timber framing as part of his big build series. He uses a simple jig to box the timber he is cutting the tenon on which acts a guide. Worth a look if you have 20mins
Really insightful talk. I would consider taking the new workshop with you to the farm. I would be surprised if would materially affect the price of the house you are selling. You will certainly welcome it when you relocate and start work on the new property.
As much as it has crossed my mind, there are enough buildings to move a workshop into there. I’ll be taking the internals with me but the outbuilding itself seems to be attractive to those who have viewed the house. Either as a workshop, office or a recent potential buy r wanted it as a yoga studio! 🧘♂️
@@TheRestorationCouple That makes sense. I think you will get significant benefit if as soon as possible you create a similar 'bridgehead' workshop at the farm. In the first few years, it will be non-stop hardcore DIY and a workshop of this nature will drive enormous efficiency. Good luck Tim.
Hi Tim, Thanks again for this...is there a follow on version to cover lasers and setting in the corners on to the erection of all pieces and use of cranes etc.? Please.
Im making a timberframe. Im also milling my timbers. Since its all green wood, what should be done about bugs that have gotten into the wood? It takes about 149° f to kill the bugs. Except by heating the wood its no longer easy to work with.
Great video. I’ve got most of the tools you’ve shown and will start my first project this summer. Do you have a source (link or website) for the Pricker? I think it would be a handy tool to have. Thanks!
Thanks for a very informative video. Why do you what to make the hole with 3 mm offset? (14:43) and how do you avoid the wood to change (twist, shrink) when working with it inside and outside?
The technique with the offset hole is called "draw boring" and it makes sure that the tenon is pulled extremely tightly into the wood, to the point that even with seasonal movements and drying (to a certain extent) it's not gonna budge.
Hi I am looking you video but I ca swe the list of tools you mentioned I looking draw prical ? and the pegs or poyer??? Poller? Poger?? Apologies I can't hear clear the neme
Planning on building a greenhouse, would you recommend Douglas fir or suggest an alternative? Also, where do you get your stainless steel fixings? They currently seem to be getting more and more expensive!
Doug fir, cedar, larch, all contenders for softwood. Stainless screws usually just screw fix but nails online usually. They are more pricey though but worth doing it right first time I guess.
There are a few sellers but usually they just take your order even if no stock, from experience. We are in the process of becoming a retailer of the chisels so may not be too long until they are on our site.
There have been complaints on TH-cam of subscribers being unsubscribed. I have a different complaint. I am subscribed to your channel, but I haven't received notices ('black bell') of any of your videos for weeks. I have unsubscribed and re-subscribed today; hopefully this will take care of the problem. But I thought you should know, in case anyone else has complained about this issue.
Really? They worked for me. Perhaps is a geographical thing? Some links don't work depending on where you are geographically. Or perhaps Tim fixed the problem between your comment and mine? Try again.
Amateur timberframe job. Why didn't you house the mortise n tenon joints? Proper timberframing has housed joints. At least you admit you are not an expert in timberframing. Good job, next time house your joints.
@@boywonder6659 a housed joint means that the joint fits into a dado along with having a mortise and tenon. That way all the weight is not just on the tenon, but the full width of the beam is partially supported as well.
Very articulate and no wasted words. All useful advice too.
For cleaning up tenons and through mortises try a large farrier’s rasp - often easier than a plane and cheaper than a slick. A farrier’s rasp is light weight and fits in your toolbox.
Delighted for whoever buys your house. What a workshop to inherit!
Woodowl auger bits are the ones 😉 extremely good
Ruler, hammer, chisel, pull saw, hand planer...that's all I ever saw watching Japanese traditional framing of temples. And I think that is all one really needs...anything more is a luxury.
Whatever makes the jobs easier. If you enjoy the process of making it then it's fine to stick with more traditional non power tools.
See totally respect the point your making an I bet that was a proper treat to see too. I envy you that exp.

Yeahhhh everyone thinks this until they actually walk outside to start framing. People that have never framed anything think this.
If you're working with softwood try white oak or other hard woods u will use power tools
thank you for a great explanation of the simple tools to start in timber building. Im getting started in timber building and found this informative.

It’s really impressive Tim, that and great practice for Hodge Podge Farm 😎👍🏆
Great video! Thank you

Japanese style pull saws (Dozuki/Ryoba) make the hand cutting on joints so much easier and more exact.
Have been waiting for this video ever since it was teased in the Q&A!
Dude I'm really enjoying your vids. Your descriptions in explanations are very helpful dude
I loved your video. The delivery of explanation and information was interesting. It was a great learning experience!
Recommend if you're doing more timber framing, make templates for checking your mortice and tenons, just plywood shapes for quickly checking for interference/high spots.
this is great, I plan I getting these tools... at some point lol
Tim , thanks very much for that informative recap. Would still like to experience the process via a workshop- food for thought
Good advice and very useful. Too bad I have no skills!
Great tutorial. I think that I could try this. The workshop looks super.
Good to see that your insight into timber frame. Maybe now people will stop saying “How much for the wood?”
Tim just watched Robin Clevett’s video on timber framing as part of his big build series.

Yeah I saw that, again it’s just another way of cheating and only works on square straight beams but a good option. 👍
Also Ted Benson's books are great also for getting your head into it as a resource.
Any plans for a community barn raise style project on the farm?
Not on the house build but yes to one of the heritage buildings that needs a full timber frame built. 👍
Great video. Really informative.

Hello you should try a story stick all vertical measurements are on one side and horizontal on the otherside this reduced the possibility of errors
Lucky you bought that triton planer when you did, they’re discontinued now :(
Hi I am looking you video but I ca swe the list of tools you mentioned I looking draw prical ? and the pegs or poyer??? Poller? Poger??
Apologies I can't hear clear the neme
Many thanks for another amazing video. Where's the best place to buy used power tools??
eBay, or fb usually.

Everybody is self taught. You learn by doing.
Hi can anyone recommend any books on timber framing. I’ve never done it before but think its something I would like to. Have a go at.
Which hoist u recommend use
New subscriber here ✌️
Depth of cut is 101mm 👍🏻
Some practical reason why to cure the braces is more obvious if you hit them with your head
Do you have link where to get these? I have been trying but forever on back order. I even thought of getting a smithy to make a slick
There are a few sellers but usually they just take your order even if no stock, from experience. We are in the process of becoming a retailer of the chisels so may not be too long until they are on our site.
Молодец 👍 авторитет прийдет сам!
What about all those gaps at your braces? They don't work if they don't touch the beams
Thanks for the video, very encouraging . Have all the tools. But paying the taxes after the build? Not possible.

Sadly the links are for the American Amazon except for TF and Yandles which don't seem to work or is it just me?
No, should all be UK links and seem to all be working.

What’s a housed joint?
Cheers.

I've been doing timber framing in oak for 46 years, you don't need these tools in this video,
it's all just show
Exactly, as I said. Not much harder with just hand tools and a drill but all depends how much time you have on your hands. 👍
@jlewis1688 Did you actually watch all the video? Tim says numerous times that you don’t have to use all of the tools. 🤷🏻♂️
@@mattridler377 No I did not watch all of the video I got bored with it
@@jlewis1688 oh right not bored enough to just switch it off then instead you thought you’d write a completely pointless comment 🤔
