Its easy to procrastinate with a roof over your head. :) I should have done the finish work first. Of course I still have to stain this so it isn't finish finished.

Digging the wooden pegs. Did you go some where to learn that or just read about how to do it. I have a plan in my head for a pavilion in my back yard using that technique.

I researched it on my own back when I built my house. There are a couple really good books you may want to read. Timber Frame Construction by Jack Sobon and Roger Schroeder and Building the Timber Frame House by Tedd Benson and James Gruber. The pegs (trenails) are easy enough to make. You just split your wood down to a rough square over the size of your through hole and then use a draw knife to size it. You should use a commander rather than a mallet to drive them but I used what was on hand since it was only a few pegs.

#1 daughter had an AP art assignment so she grouped my tools for a photo to work from.
