When we assemble frames on site, it all starts with very tight joinery. Tight enough that we need mechanical help, ratchet straps and come-alongs, to draw tenons into mortises. We’re looking for slight compression of the side grain on the receiving member by the end grain of the inserting member. Once we like the fit, we drill and peg the joint. Then it’s time to raise. | Shelter Institute
