Workshop Report: Part 1
The leadership team for LISEC arrived this past weekend and quickly set up shop between the Port Jefferson (NY) Community Center and Long Island Sound. It’s a very nice place to be, now that the rains have stopped.
This modest plastic structure behind the sign is the home of Brace Land, wherein long-time Guild member Dave Crocco and LISEC site supervisor Phil Schiavone have been working through the stacks of braces. All of these braces, whose mortises are especially angled to resist the capture of water on the weather side timbers, should be complete by the end of Wednesday. Right on schedule.
Leadership team member and Massachusetts resident Neil Godden is running a small side workshop under the tent to scribe the live edge material in the gable ends.
English Tying Joint begins to come together for one of the gable walls. This layup is complete except for the plates and the live edge braces shown being scribed down in the earlier photo.
