    Question: Do you ever run into a problem where the scarf joint at the point where those pieces are "under squinted" risk causing the mating beam to split in that deep V? Is that a risk?

    • @ShelterInstitute
      @ShelterInstitute 4 дні тому

      That absolutely can be a problem if it is cut in a way that exerts too much pressure into that “V”. In other words if the two mortises are too offset, it is possible that they could become overdriven and split that “V”. We have been timber framing for 50 years(this year) and have never seen it in practice, but with poor design, it could be possible

    What saw do you prefer for cutting a scarf joint? Does that mafell portable band saw do it or a beam saw?

    • @ShelterInstitute
      @ShelterInstitute 6 днів тому

      We use the Makita or Skil 16” beams saws for the scarf, and finish the cut with a rip saw (as in the video). The beams saws let us cut a bit closer to the score line than the Mafell. Thanks for watching!

    Samurai brand sells a diamond file (DFH-70) that can sharpen impulse-hardened saw teeth. I've used it on an impulse-hardened pruning saw several times, and it works well, but I would imagine the smaller teeth on a cross-cut saw would be too difficult

    Sounds great, but for $$$. I get unwanted paint on sale to put on the end of fresh cut log's. After milling, For open frame shelter you can use old motor oil. For inside just us boiled linseed oil, two cotes on the end and joints. No need for fancy recipes that didn't exist until very recently.

    • @ShelterInstitute

      Absolutely an option! Every person cutting their own frame should carefully consider their personal budget and try to make the best, realistic, decisions with it in mind. We use this product for frames in our design build firm for a variety of reason. One being the five basic ingredients have been used individually for years and we find they work exceptionally well, together.
