Landing page captured for the 2026-09-13 issue.

Field notes

The generator is presented as a sequence from entered dimensions to a checked timber frame, member sizing, and an exploded plan listing individual pieces. Its explanatory layer calls out the 42 7/16-inch diagonal of a nominal 30-inch square, the half-inch reduction from nominal lumber sizes, and snow-load inputs tied to the user's locality. The page states that the resulting structure remains subject to review and sealing by a professional engineer, with that warning printed on each plan sheet.
