We rebuilt the FIRST WALL! (120 year old house rescue)

Summary by Krater

Laura Kampf builds a scale model of a timber-frame wall to figure out the construction order before replacing a demolished wall in her house, then constructs and installs the real timber frame.

From the video

Answers: How do you build and replace a timber-frame wall?

• Timber-frame construction
• Scale model building
• Woodworking joinery
• Wall replacement

What it concludes

• Building a scale model first helps understand the order of operations and joinery for constructing a timber-frame wall.
• A groove cut into the sill allows uprights with existing joinery to be successfully installed into the frame.
• Wedges can be used from both sides to lift and secure sills and uprights into the correct position.
