I managed to work for a few hours on the shed this morning (before the rain started) and now there is only about 30 minutes work and the final end frame will be complete. Still for once I don't mind it raining as I have a lot of pegs to make. I have been making pegs throughout the construction of the shed - usually when the weather is not so good. However, I still need to make a lot and before I can lift the final frame I need to peg the joints to ensure it is secure.
I make the pegs using a Froe (to cut the square blanks) and a draw knife to shape the pegs from the blanks. I hold the timber in my Workmate (in a rather non-traditional way) when shaping the pegs.
