Building Concepts Course CMCC Week 17- Timber Frame Knee Braces


This week was devoted much of our time toward creating knee braces for the long walls of our timber frame. The purpose of these knee braces is to keep the long walls of the structure held square and also to offer support. Unlike the other knee braces we joined these 4 knee braces from the outside in instead of the true mortise (hole) and tenon (tongue) style joinery. Before any assembly happened their was a lot of planing and joining of the timbers to get them square and straight.
