In this section we will go through a quick and efficient method of building timber frame walls, including:

• Marking the wall positions on the floor using a chalk line to create long straight lines
• Cutting wall plates: timbers representing the length of the walls
• Marking wall plates for door/window openings
• How to make a gauge for marking the position of common studs on the wall plates.
• Marking the wall plates for the location of common studs
• Where to join walls that are longer than the 6 meter length of timber available
• Stud locations at wall junctions
