    Again, thanks to all for the great tips and comments. Extremely helpful. And it reminds me I need to re-up my membership with the Creek. Gotta keep this invaluable place going.

    Thank you Lee, I think that's exactly the plan now. Your last sentence might prove the most valuable. Don't ask me how I know that.

    A lot of the literature I've seen on traditional Japanese architecture has posts on buried rock foundation with post bottoms above grade, often scribed to the rock. But I'm no expert. A few years...

    Very, very nice. I do lots of wedged through tenons and the idea of just splitting it for the wedge with a chisel kind of freaks me out, but makes a lot of sense. I really appreciate all the...
