This episode offers a satisfying look at a simple, yet meticulously built timber carport. He walks viewers through the entire process, from excavation to finishing touches, sharing insights and tips along the way.

The project involves digging post holes while carefully avoiding gas lines, pouring concrete, and assembling the timber frame. Peter highlights the craftsmanship behind cutting and fitting large beams, including tips on making straight cuts and adding clean chamfers with power tools. He also introduces some of his favorite equipment, like a mini concrete truck and a Makita power planer, while demonstrating how to handle heavy beams using a man lift.

As the project nears completion, Peter and his crew install the final rafters, roof boarding, and shingles, all while enjoying the beautiful weather and the challenges of carpentry.
