In a recent thread, somebody said that you could use the Dogfather to build a house. I used that as an excuse to let mine out to play. It's a slow day. Some chopping to limber up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q66Uj8enf4And this was left after 30 seconds of chopping: ![[Linked Image from chapterhouse2.nhvt.net]](http://chapterhouse2.nhvt.net/users/momaw/dogfather4-1.jpg) Well that was fun. Now chopping to length: ![[Linked Image from chapterhouse2.nhvt.net]](http://chapterhouse2.nhvt.net/users/momaw/dogfather4-2.jpg) Kinda ragged... Let's clean that up: ![[Linked Image from chapterhouse2.nhvt.net]](http://chapterhouse2.nhvt.net/users/momaw/dogfather4-3.jpg) Hewing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs3LWA2T3OoA squared off timber that would be very useful in building something! ![[Linked Image from chapterhouse2.nhvt.net]](http://chapterhouse2.nhvt.net/users/momaw/dogfather4-4.jpg)

Very nice. For a standard stick-frame house, estimate a 2x4 stud at 92-1/4" per foot per floorplan, add on your top and bottom plates, calc your beams, headers and shear panels and you are set <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> . But you will need more steel than the DFLE for bolts, ties, caps and straps.
