cutting the wall frames

Part 7: Cutting the wall frames

Cut all the wall-frame members to the lengths given in the plans. The bottom and top plates all require rebates and notches to house the stud members. This can be achieved by making multiple saw cuts across the notch/rebate area with a circular saw with its blade set to the required depth. The notch/rebate area can then be cleaned out with a hammer and chisel.

Helpful references: http://www.buildeazy.com/workshop/tudor-shed-4.html and http://www.buildeazy.com/workshop/tudor-shed-6.html give a more in-depth explanation on cutting and notching wall-frames. However, those articles are specifically for a smaller shed, so use the idea but not the measurements. Refer to the plans in this documentation for the dimensions.

putting the wall frames together

Part 8: Assembling the wall frames

Once all the wall-frame members have been cut and notched/rebated, the frames can be made up on an even surface, such as a large floor, large deck area or concrete drive. Refer to the plans for placement.

cutting the curved braces

Part 9: Making the curved bracing

The curved bracing can be cut from pieces of 1 1/2" x 9 1/2" (240mm x 45mm) wood that are 48" (1200mm) long.
You will need eight altogether for each corner of the walls.
You will also need four more smaller curved pieces for the top of the front and rear frames, but they can be cut from the off-cuts.
Refer to the plans for the dimensions.
Ideally, use a band saw to cut the curves, however, there is another alternative as explained at http://www.buildeazy.com/workshop/tudor-shed-5.html
Note: The curved braces are only decorative. They are not a necessary part of the structure so they can be omitted.
