Really fun Truss Project





Fully assembled and ready to ship. Unfortunately I was busy and did not get a better picture of the completed truss.

B-21 Raider built with Lumber :slight_smile: Just kidding. This looks amazing and the finish is superb.

Thanks! :smiley:

How did you do in Rhino all those joints? I must import all drawings into carpentry software.

Might be relevant to what you need to do :

Boolean differences and unions mainly, Mergeallcoplainersurfaces cleans it up nice and of course you can’t forget trim and cap.The joints themselves are just made with experience and research. :slightly_smiling_face:
I am working on a grasshopper alg that would make trusses with joinery and automatic beam sizing using just a few specifications like span and pitch. I have had some success but still have a ways to go on that project. Maybe that all answers your question. By the way, here is the company I work for. https://www.iowatimberframe.com/ :smiley:

The joint is so clean, nice project you have there :smiley:

Thanks! Much appreciated!

did you just use finish that with 8000 grit?

Actually it is just planed material. No sanding at all. A little hand plane and chisel work though.
