Wedged Scarf Joint

Since I had a little success with the English Tying Joint I decided to give the Wedged Scarf Joint a try. I Had to use the beam that I had cut up to use as sleepers. Here is the first attempt.

As you  can see in the picture below I will be cutting a 3x4 inch knotch to put a 4x6 inch purlin.

On the lower side of this beam will be a mortise for a brace. The drawing for this joint is pictured below and will be located on the tractor shed side.
