Zoomers!
Zoomers are high-resolution pictures that we present full size so that you can see details up close. Any photo with a red border in our gallery is a zoomer. Click on it, and a new window will open with the high-res picture. In some browsers, you may need to click on the picture again, or on an enlarge-picture icon that appears on the bottom right-hand corner. Once in the high-res version, you can zoom around using your scrollbars. Close the window to return here.

some joinery details: inside a dormer post Below: The Larder/Warren house in Falmouth NS. See if you can find the unusual joint in the photo on the right.
McQuarrie timber frame. Left: First bent being lifted up.
In the zoomer you can note the 2x10 temporary "strongbacks & clamps" The
rafter/post connection is supported "just in case". The
bent will never encounter 
this
type of load when it is in place.
Right: Here we are tying the last bent to connecting girts, top plates, and braces.
In the zoomer, you can see a spike in a brace peg hole, which allows us to make adjustments without letting the brace fall out.
