This image shows a wallframe during construction in the workshop.Tools such
as levels , chalklines and plumb-bobs' are as important to the carpenters
today as they were in Europe 1000 years ago, to the builders of the cathedrals.
'Methodical' is the key word in the construction of these wallframe. The size
of the various members (and their weight in combination) means that efficient
handling is important . Joints must be constructed with the sequence of on-site
assembly in mind.
