Then I took the whole thing apart, and cut the mortises for the knee braces. Below is a couple pictures of the final assembly with the knee braces installed. Kind of cool to have all the pieces start to look like something.
Next up will be queen posts, thankfully built from smaller beams. Ten by ten timbers are very heavy to muscle around by hand.

keep up the good work. Your really inspiring me! I'll be sure check in on your progress.
Are you end grain sealing those (Anchorseal)? If not, why?
I haven't been using anchorseal, although I intend to. It's been so cold that I haven't worried about checking yet. I've had some 8x8's stacked up for a year or so that I didn't seal the ends on, and they split on me, although not very much. At least they didn't twist.
