IT. 1424, Elmhurst, Cal. Framing Buildings. Heavy timber framing may be said to bealmost a lost art in most sections of ourcountry, being confined largely to replacingsills of old buildings and making sills fornew ones. In some cases heavy timbers areused for these. Let us suppose that we are to frame thesills for a building, say 20x24 feet and thatthe long or side sills are to be spliced. We will begin with the shorter or cross Xi/VlovT/s^ X t. 47 sills which are to be 20 feet long. Supposingthe timbers are eight inches square, at oneend measure back eight inches, and markacross, • also dovm, each side. Mark a linetwo inches from the top, also one two inchesbelow this, on each side of the stick and oneacross the bottom even with those first by sawing in two inches at the top Convention Xumbeu moved with auger and chisel, the tenon ofthe cross sill can be entered unless the tim-ber happens to be oversize in which caseyou will need to do some cutting known assizing or boxing, which is merely removingthe parts of the timber wMch are in theway, so that the joints will go cutting the three mortises in each R ^^Ynoue
