N and O Have Been Bevelled, and K Now Being Prepared

With the wet weather outside, we stayed dry in the workshop and carried on with the task of slicing angled bevel ends on the fourteen rafters we have already made, eight for the “N” section and six for the “O” section. Plus the one we did yesterday for the odd P2 rafter, we now have done a total of fifteen, all ready to be put up into the roof and get the Great Room all done.
For our afternoon session, we started the job of preparing all the parts to make the final set of twelve “K” rafters. We brought in another five lengths of the 89mm CLS timber and along with the three (and a bit) lengths of the 63mm CLS timber we already had in the workshop, we then proceeded to chop them up into all the individual parts. Twelve of the 89mm wide ones to make the top flange with had the bird’s mouth cut into it, and ten parts of the 63mm wide ones for the bottom flange, all having the 45degrees angle ends.
That concluded the day’s work and tomorrow, with the dryer weather, we will bring in six sheets of plywood and get them sliced up into eighteen more 400mm wide strips to make the webbing to go towards making the final 10 full-sized rafters.
