Another WFO in the UK - 42" Pompeii

[brad mole]

More diagonal braces cut and test fitted, looking good! Also just to show that i marked through the peg holes then drilled the tenons offset so that when the pegs get tapped in, it pulls the joint tighter together

[brad mole]

Side frames fitting good! I made a little template of the tenon so i knew where i needed to tweak the joint for it to fit to save me test fitting it so many times

Front and back timbers getting their joints cut

Your timber work is as nice as your oven work.

[brad mole]

Test fit looking good, now for pegs and glue

[brad mole]

More test fit pics and then a drill for a peg in the top to secure each joint end. And the glue up starts

[brad mole]

Pegging away

[brad mole]

More pegs and then making a start trimming the excess pegs off using a piece of wood as a spacer

[brad mole]

And finishing up the trimming, then making a start treating it

[brad mole]

And more painting

[brad mole]

Picked up some material for king posts and ridge beam and started work on them

[brad mole]

More work and a test fit, looking like its going to be a nice tight fit

[brad mole]

It fit lovely! I didnt check it for square until it was all pegged in, but once all pegs were tapped home, it was absolutely square in all directions!

[brad mole]

Scraped the glue off when it was set and moved onto making trims to cover the floor braces

A finished shot of it ready for the roof, bought some roofing timbers and coated them before they went up, also picked up some reclaimed slates for the roof!
