A couple more pictures... The loft... Clear Vision Twin...

I've got it.... Works great for what it does.

I built my timber-frame shed with trees from my property - But used almost entirely oak - with some poplar for the rafters - I'm not sure about using Spruce. See thread "Old School Build..." from a while back. It makes a big difference to have the right guys building - I was fortunate to find...

Wrapping this up this week - I'll try to post some pictures next week.

I've got the A7.... You do need to run it up to the top to bleed/level it. Once you do that it is completely level. Not a big hassle for me. It is one heavy, overbuilt lift... I'm happy with mine.

Here's another picture. You can see the cedar shake roof in progress. This is going real slow as they use real hammers not nail guns. I'm not sure why they didn't line up that post... These guys build exactly how they think things should be and don't talk much (they don't drive...

Here's something a bit different... I have some real old school craftsman building this "carriage shed" . All materials so far are from my farm... Fieldstone and framing - Oak beams and poplar for the rafters. These guys work from their own sketch with only a tape measure and a square. - Two...

I also have this same saw.... And it was my grandfathers (and then my fathers as well). Ray

In my township you need permit - but don't need inspections for less than 1000 square feet. My current project (equipment shed) is 37X27.... 999 square feet. Ray

The little Tokheim got me started....
