Join Gaius and the Shelter crew as they build three timber frame structures just a few miles from their shop in Woolwich! This project includes a 30' x 32' Timber Frame home connected to a 24' x 24' Timber Frame studio, as well as a 24' x 24' Timber Frame garage. In this episode, we raise dual ridge beams on the 30' x 32' home, as well as the rafters on the 24' x 24' studio.
