This morning, Jim started making the next two braces...
In the afternoon, we headed outside and Jim worked on the mortise pockets...
Chiseling the diagonal...
The last two mortise pockets on the two end beams done...
Doing some measuring and marking for the mortise pockets on the middle beam. Jim needs new blades for his vibrating saw that he uses to score the pockets. I'll pick those up from Home Depot tomorrow.
So instead, he started marking the cutout he will need for the shoulder of the secondary beam to intersect into the main beams...
Using his Japanese saw...
And a lot of chiseling...
And even more chiseling, although obviously the paparazzi was caught trying to take this picture!
That cutout done, he moved on to working on the end one, working among the pine tree...
While pictures never turn out, the Blue Supermoon through the trees tonight was just gorgeous!
