How to Assemble a Timber Frame Bent | Ep. 13 | Building the Dream, One Tree at a Time

You asked, we listened! Someone recently requested we do a video showing a closer-up and more detailed view of assembling the bents. In timber framing, different parts called “bents” are typically assembled on the ground, then raised into place, then linked up with other timbers. In this video we show you how we assemble a bent!

    Hi Gilly, Make a scissor truss using overlap joints. When you install trusses, you've got to use bracing boards to keep them in position laterally, since they're only designed to take vertical loads. If you're interested in hearing any more details about this, I'm happy to provide more information!

      ua-cam.com/video/Nr7nh2G-GMg/v-deo.html I've made some modifications on this design, to make it a scissor truss and to have more lap joints and web members. The video is a good intro to design. Bracing is the other factor.

I’m a Builder from Maine, it’s nice to see some post+beam construction, it’s a “Lost Art”, these days! I can only think of one Tech. School in my state that still does it! Central Maine Community College, Post+Beam Construction! There is another school for Marine Vessel Construction Course at Maine Maritime Academy, but that is a small part of the overall course!!! Ideally, I would have like to see a remote controlled hydraulic system($ pricey), and some “better” radio headsets ($ pricey! I am a big fan of “make it happen” and “work with what you have”! Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome! Where did you learn Post+Beam Construction Techniques, “on the job” or did you take a program, locally??? If so what school? I have a feeling, that we went to the same “University”, “The School of Hard Knocks”!!! Great Job, Team!!! It’s nice to see an “Original Idea” on UA-cam, our company motto is “Everything from, Trees to Keys”!!! Feel free to use it, but I love the idea of “One Tree at a Time”!!! I hope to see more of the build, back to “binge watching” the rest!!!
