As we have started to complete some of the components we are starting
to test fit the joints. So here's an overview of the work. We are
building two bents and associated connecting girts and kneebraces. To provide a point of reference for the following photos of joint testing there is a diagram of one of the bents we are building.

| Plan for one Bent. |
The
scale and tight fitting nature of the joinery requires using large
mallets called beetles and come-alongs to close the joints.

| Testing the left principal post with rafter. |

| Testing the anchor beam and the two hammer posts. |
Bringing together the Anchor Beam with the Left Hammer Post and their Knee Brace.

On point! Thanks
