We're building a timber frame shed for our saw mill (ironically using the saw to mill the timber for it's own building... it's like a meta-shed). Upon hearing this news, I wanted to reply that I had built stairs for Savoy and timber framing would be no problem what-so-ever.
Instead of power tools and the measure once, cut five times mentality that I'm used to, we're doing as much of it by hand that we can. If we had time, we would probably turn the logs into post and beams by hand as well.
The saw mill is equally awesome and terrifying. Timber frame days are quite cool and while perhaps not completely focused on farming, it's nice to know how to do all this for when I buy a farm with a broken down barn.
