Bridge, Deck Truss
I need to span a seasonal stream near the summit cut/tunnel. My original plan was to use a low trestle, but then I discovered some vintage truss plans on the web (and some pics of another 1-1/2” bridge based on those plans), so instead I decided to build a deck truss bridge “the way they used to do it”, using only wood and bolts. In the end it turned out very well, if I do say so myself. This free woodworking plans and woodworking projects page is courtesy of the DLWRR web site

Bridge, Build a Foot
In California’s Fieldbrook Valley, just North of Eureka, Ron pays a visit to Starr and Esther Kilian, who live on a fabulous 7 ½ acre piece of property that looks more like a state park than someone’s backyard! The trouble is, this large parcel of land is divided in many places by drainage ditches. The existing bridges are beginning to fail, and the ditches are difficult to cross without them. Starr is hoping that Ron can teach him how to build the first bridge, using beautiful redwood from nearby forests, and then Starr and Esther can replace the remaining bridges when the repairs are needed.
