To add more stiffness to the construction of the housing of the windmill there is additional bracing. These crosses are not in the fields where the doors are so I need to make six of them.
Starting off with very small lumber
Making mortises in the beams
Testing the fit while holding things in place with a rubber band
And then adding the cross
After assembling all parts I made until now fitting it all together
All things fitted in place. Time to fix the parts to there place
Drilling holes
Adding some nails
All bracing nailed in place. No more disassembling.
The progress so far.
