Philip,

I agree with the other folks here, about the framing, it's excellent!
My wife makes hand made cards, and has used parchment paper. Glue doesn't stick to it.
And I don't think your wood would slide around on its surface. Try it to see what
you think. I have yet to try it myself, so go lightly with it if you do.
A great mock-up would have been to use the paper plans, glued together.. 
rather than taking the time to construct all of that nice wood framing. ha!

Philip to answer your question, I use Elmers white glue and apply a tiny bit on each end on the outside frame piece with a toothpick. After the perimeter dries all the interior framing gets glued to that. This avoids a lot of glue marks on the framing. Hope that made sense.

Thanks Rich! I altered the plans you shared a bit. I will give it a try! We use it all the time. I also think the used parchment from the oven would make perfect tattered and stained roll curtains. Olive oil is a perfect water stain after cooking.

Philip I'm currently building a SW Shipyard at Foss Landing. I have a thread under kit building but nothing to show at this point.

Speaking of glue, I use WS Foam Tack Glue for all wood gluing and have for years.

Cool, I'll check the thread soon. I never tried the WS glue. Is it white when wet?

Neat building! SW Foss Landing Link

Fourth wall is framed. Now to unstick the sticks after a overnight cure.

The gables are next. No plan yet.

Philip, nice job on the framing and even has the Jerry Seal of Approval.

Philip fantastic framing job!!! and it looks to be good sized. I'm sure you've already considered this, and depending how much you are going to detail the inside, please don't make the same mistake I made on my first Shop. Add the details to the walls BEFORE you glue the walls together; makes life so much easier.

Very nice job Philip.

Thanks Jerry!

I know! How did that happen? Thanks!

Yes, I'm paying attention but sitting on the fence of why we do stuff and hide it with exterior boards and non removable roofs?

Thanks for looking!
