I'm new to milling, but have a few decent power heads and an almost limitless supply of Douglas Fir and Cedar to mill (old untreated power poles at work); Most of it's 30 plus years old so it's pretty dry. Also, I live in a forest ripe with Douglas Firs and Cedars 3' dbh. Adding to this I try and take about 4 or 5 months off every year to do whatever.
I'd like to build a garage (more of a pole barn) that should hold some big boats and vehicles, maybe 6 spaces (something 60x30 maybe?) and have at least a few 12' tall overhead doors along the long face.
I just need a few ideas of where to start and how big to cut my beams? I'm pretty lousy when it comes to carpentry, I've never really done it much... But I can build anything out of steel and rebuild any thing mechanical, just not familiar with wood...
Any good links to plans, or books to familiarize myself with timber framing?
Thanks,
Chad.
