Sling Brace Frame #1

Sling brace with the curvature cut on the Robinson Bandsaw.
 Each beam weighing roughly 250 kgs.

Eucalyptus cladocalyx (sugar gum) 200 x 200 mm sawn beams are being laid out over a setting out rod / template.
All joints are transferred up from the template, this is known as 'rafting'.  This ensures all five sling braced frames which make up the ribs of the structure are identical.
