Between now and next September we will be building a new shop barn.  This will be a project of the Northford Timber Framers as we are the class sponsor for the 2009 class.  Please check back often as the shop comes to life.

The Basic Idea:

This is Doug and Brenda's Maine III barn, which is just like our barn except we will be adding one more bent to make the structure 22' by 50'. 

This is the Basic Layout, the yellow rectangle represents a 4' by 8' sheet of plywood.  All the machines in the third bay are on wheels which would allow them to move in order to bring in a vehicle or work on a boat.

This is the foundation plan, cross section view.
