Accidents do happen, and sometimes a lorry drives into you front room and knocks your porch over for good measure.
With some master bricklayers on the case with the wall, we were given the task of repairing the porch. Made from a mix of oak and elm rounds, the original would have been made using the scribe rule method to align the joinery.
We wanted to keep as much of the original timber as possible so we set about repairing the joints which had snapped in the accident.
Templates were employed to give the correct orientation and alignment for the tenons. After that, it was just a case of blending the existing into the original a little more before reassembling on site.
