Bents 4 & 5 Done



Back on the air. Been gone. Left my camera out in the rain one night. Left camera battery at home. Enough excuses. We finished bents 4 & 5 last week. We're adding the king posts to all the bents. These are the posts that run up from the middle of each of these bents to support the ridge beam. Here's a picture of Mike running the chain mortiser. It's a fancy electric chain saw that cuts mortises. The mortise below is for a brace.
