Building a Hand Crafted Timber Frame Pavilion, Ideas for your property!

What happens here

Workers are shown using hand tools, specifically a chisel, to refine the mortise and tenon joints of the large timber beams laid out on the ground. This meticulous process ensures that each joint fits precisely, which is crucial for the structural integrity of the timber frame. Once refined, wooden pegs are driven into pre-drilled holes to securely fasten the joints, locking the timber pieces together without the need for metal fasteners.

Goal: Assemble ground-level timber frame components

Tools and materials

  • Chisel N/A — Shaping and refining the timber joints
  • Mallet Husky — Driving wooden pegs into joints
  • Timber Beams N/A — The primary building material for the frame
  • Wooden Pegs N/A — Securing timber joints
