Church Entrance

[Deansocial]

Well thought ill just give an update about a months time going to be a meeting.  I have spoken to vicar asking about planning permission and he assured me that the church has their own planning because they are under a charity planning which they control and decide what can and cannot be done. So I suggested instead of repairing I would rather replace the entire thing like for like and he said he would be happy for that to be done.  

All I hav to do is give him a full detail what I will be doing and what joints I would use and why because the people who will decide if it goes ahead or not are not in the trade so will need to understand what is what. Also including how much it i will all cost of course.

So  ill be finding out about a months time if I get the go head! I would like to do the job but then I wouldn't as its a little out of my comfort zone!

3x3 fence posts and a box of 90mm passy nails? [tongue]

Thought this project was dead.  Glad there is still hope for it.  Remember, too high a price & the poor church doesn't get a new roof  [scared] (why are churches always trying to raise money for new roofs ?)

It would be cool if you got it.
I do enjoy work out of my comfort zone, not so much for the pocket book (takes more time and materials) so much but what I can learn and improve on.
Good luck.

Just a question actually about the structure!  I was wondering how I would make the large curve sections as I dont think I would be able to get timber that large. So I would have to glue?fix? some how timbers together to make that large curved section?  How would they of done it in the old days?  Glueing is my first thought but being outdoors and the wood is going to be moving ALOT would it hold?

Possible Oak splines ?  I don't know how it would have been done to be honest.

Your "Monkey" glue as you call it would probably be best for green oak but i am just guessing.

JMB, for that center section, I see you holding the world record for amount of dominos used to laminate the beams together.

Maybe make it easy on yourself and just do dry, loose floating tenons for the center section so it'll handle weather changes without splitting.  It's not like there are exposed joints for people to see and criticize.

HaaaaHaaa! lol You was wrong just like I was [tongue] [tongue] [tongue] [tongue]

I wasnt going to glue it any way I would be to scared of it splitting any way.  I was just wondering if some one knew if they did some strange random joint method.
