Making a beam, hewing, using froe, axe and adze

Details at http://www.idostuff.co.uk. Making a replica beam for an old cottage using traditional tools (apart from tree felling with a chainsaw). A satifying job using the froe, axe and adze and a lot quicker than thought it would be. How to hew a beam, the theory is one thing, letting your body learn how to use the old tools and to feel the timber respond is something else althogether.
