Update - Timber frame Pergola
Got a few more joints cut today. First bent complete.
Question for the vets. Do I drawbore the tennons when I'm raising or while I'm drylaying it out? I forget.

This is my own house.
I was exposed to timberframing in my 20s. I cut joints and helped build on site. This my first foray in designing and laying out. It's a pergola made from 6x6 cedar with 2x6 rafters and knee braces.
It's much more challenging having the full weight of responsibility for all the things. I'm glad I'm in my 40s now or I wouldn't have the patience. It's coming along nicely!! I'll keep posting as I go.
