Heart Pine Timber Frame for Timber Frame Connection

Jun 24, 2020 |

We had the opportunity to pre-fabricate a frame for Timber Frame Connection. This project was very special because the timber was all reclaimed Longleaf Heart Pine. We recieved an entire truckload of reclaimed timbers that had all been specified to a specific part of the new frame. A portion of the delivered timbers had to be planed and glued together to make pieces big enough to fabricate the large braces. The pictures below show the gluing process. 

 

For each brace, a 6″x10″ and 6″x4″ timber were glued together. Resulting in one 6″x14″ timber.

The 6″x14″ hard pine timbers were 8′ long for the shorter braces, and 14′ long for the big braces. 

Fabrication could begin once all timbers were planned and glued to the necessary sizes. The entire timber frame was pre-fabricated on our Hundegger Robot-Drive to ensure a precise and accurate fit for all timber connections. Some timbers could be resawn before the fabrication of the timber frame connections. All timbers got their final rough sawn look after all CNC work was complete. Below, pictures of a few finished components can be seen.   

The project was then ready to be carefully packaged after CNC fabrication of all components was complete.

We got them ..

The Pitzl Power Clamp is an amazing lifting device. What in the world is that… ?

On girders, rafters, posts or anything else, lifted by a crane, we set on a non visible location a drilling. On site you stick the clamp in, release it and that’s it. Load capacity up to 2200 lbs per clamp!


 

Now available for use on timber frame, the Pitzl Power Clamp II offers the latest innovation in timber construction. Easy and effective.

* Major time savings  * No other lifting gear needed  * No damage of wood surface  * No soiling  * Drilling are calculated for the right balance  * no spreader bar needed

Ask us for this option for  your next project .
