Timber are attached to each other in timber frames using mortise and tenon joints with pegs, engineered so that the uplift force from wind trying to blow the structure away, the lateral push of wind trying to shear and bend it, and all other stresses are calculated with precisely the right amount of wood left at each joint, and steel is added if necessary.

“Timbers are attached to each other again according to engineering...these timbers are as I said engineered but typically we would have mortise and tenon joints we have a tenon going up here into the beam we will have pegs going through all of these are designed so that the uplift of wind trying to blow it away the push of wind on the side trying to share and bend it are all calculated so that there is the right amount of wood left at each joint and if necessary our steel will be added”
