Do you think this was an intentional design or a happy little accident?

Results speak for themselves. But please continue to argue your point.

Have you ever seen a telehandler tire like this? We alway run foam filled so flats aren’t a problem but gashes that expose the foam still are. Not anymore. Section of tire gets damaged, just replace the damage. No need to even call the tire shop.

Frames don’t fit, tripods would make this hallways difficult to walk though. This method keeps shores standing and maintains maximum space for the walkway. But tell me how you do it different.

Deck posts. Get them right. Here’s one method.

Tight spaces require different tools.
Did you know the Milwaukee Tool has a cordless palm nailer? Almost required in this late addition signage foundation. Yes we have a compressor on site and probably a couple of Pneumatic palm nailers, but they at literally a country mile away and in the other phase parkade. This M12 made quick work of fastening these sheets that are up against the shoring wall.
Thought? Drop them in the comments.

Study of a valley. On top of expanding my understanding of Stereotomy basics I learnt that my hand tools need an upgrade and my hand tool skills need practice. And maybe don’t choose maple for the most difficult piece.
King post & purlin: Douglas Fir
Valley : maple

What incompetencies have you found?
Good thing this 21” thick suspended slab hadn’t been placed yet.

Mistake or opportunity to practice? I drew a line referencing the wrong plane so my backing angles didn’t work out. Without catching the error I transferred drawing to model and made all the cuts. This was a new process for me. I was not happy to find the mistake, especially on such I beautiful piece of wood. However, after correcting the drawing, my second attempt at cutting the joinery went much smoother as I had build on understanding off the first.
Compound angle king post crowning, compound angle bridle joint, strayed hip for equal plum face reveal…. Not bad for a rough carpenter/concrete guy.
