Ruby's new bed @ Vermont Timber Works, Inc.

As many of you may know, Ruby is Dan's beloved boxer dog. She comes to work with Dan almost every day and is very helpful around our timber framing shop. Whether it's helping Steve eat his lunch, drooling on Travis or supervising the VTW Crew loading timber trusses onto a GMH Transport truck...it's a tough life.

Since we love Ruby so much, she has a new bed, (thank you Steve) carefully placed in her favorite spot.

Customizing is an option...

Recently, Vermont Timber Works was approached to add a carving into the bottom chord of a specific truss...uhmmmm

Sure, why not! Hey Tommy, grab your chisels and let's give it a try. Want me to get the video camera?

Tom said no...
The US FOREST SERVICE will be very happy with this detail, don't you think so?

Tools of our Heavy Timber Trade, Meet Lil & Hercules.

Meet Lil, she's our Lull. Lil comes in real handy for all sorts of things. Maneuvering the heavy timbers can be a challenge do to the weight and length of the beams. Lil works like a fork lift and has a nice reach also. Here Kellin is at the helm as we load fully assembled douglas fir trusses for our Spruce Peak Lodge Project in Stowe, VT. Mike is helping with Hercules, our fork truck.

Hercules and Lil make a great team... Great job Vermont Timber Works!


Viola!
