I agree with Mel , This would give you better head room inside also . Im not sure the angle your looking to make will work with a truss , isn't there a minimum degree before the fixing plates become a weak joint ? I would make a window frame up and use that to support the front of the roof .

No cutters ? Thats not right ! If you dont have the cutters you cant use it as soon as you get it home and make stupid things that have no use !

:lol:

So you want a flat roof with windows at the front ? Why not make up a window frame and cut an fix the rest of the roof ? Or am i missing something ?

I know your game pal , while im looking at the timber your knocking out 50 newel posts on the legacy ! :lol:

Hi Colin , i take it from the timber you have mentioned you think darker wood would be better ? I thought maple would make a nice touch but you guys are the experts here not me . I think knocking off the corners is the way to go on the legs but i'm still not sure what to do on the top . Could be...

Whats wrong with the Legacy Alf ?

Hi Mel , Its six floors up so no not a fire escape . The cappings i'm still waiting for the timber yard to get in but they will go on . Not sure what you mean by using lead on the string or a bit basic ? Low down is i do a bit of work for builders that speak to the architect that speak to the...

Ok i know there a only a few of us but i thought it would be good to start a thread where questions and answers , advice and tips could be put without annoying every one :lol: I don't know if the mods will allow it and i haven't asked Roger yet but would he be able to post on this thread...

Woooooooooo Hooooooooooo :lol: Did you get the 8 cutters in with the price ? At this rate i think a Legacy forum is on the cards :lol:

Nick , sorry i've only just seen this post . Looking at your website i think the Legacy would be very helpful to you , especially the template following function for tables and chairs . Yes it is expensive and the template follower is an additional cost but you don't need to buy it all at once ...

That is very clever Gill !

Very nice work . I love the detail around the turned sections , adding those small mitres really makes a piece i think . Top class craftmanship !

Thanks for the tips guys :D Colin , i was thinking of using maple for the wedges , do you have something better ? :whistle: I was also thinking of lipping the edge of the top in maple , good idea or to much again ? Good point about the square top on the legs , i cant copy the round over thats...

Can i ask why you are making trusses and not cutting and fixing the roof ?

Wow ! :shock: Very very nice .

Ive found the very very rich like to hear about the cheaper option rather than going off and spending their money . 9/10 prefer the cheaper option , thats why they are very very rich :roll:

Haffele sell everything you can think of . They even sell everything your customers think of . In fact i'm pretty sure they sell every thing SWMBO can think of :shock: :lol: I do know the sell lighting systems with "safe" plugs and auto sensors . On a cheaper scale most 12v stuff is safe...

Roger i have found trying to plan where to put things doesn't work as you need to move them when you do a different kind of job / project . You mention a second bay :D Knock a door through and have your workbench and build area there 8-[ Dont tell yer missus and we wont :-$ .

Hmmmmm i was thinking of turning a rope mould for the braces , not using the flat timber in the pic . One thing i have noticed from looking at the pics is i should have thought about the grain direction before i started turning the rope on the legs . Ive just noticed from the first and fourth...
