Timber frame wall with a twist
Hi all
Have to build 2 partitions to make a pantry in an existing corner but the angle is about 114 degrees (not 90) It comes off the existing wall at 90 for 680mm turns off at 114 degrees for 1650mm (including door) then butts another short partition at 168 degrees. First bit is OK. Attach sole plate, verticle stud up wall to ceiling. Attach header then stud down to sole plate again (?) OK
How do I accomplish the stud position/angle. Do I have to taper the edge to maintain the face of the frame for the lining?
Do I bisect the corner angle and cut the both sole plates on the corner at 57 degrees (114/2) ?
Further complecated by existing ceiling is on a 16 degree angle Um...
As I turn off at the header at the corner it gets tricky- as the apparent angle changes to 7 degrees. If i attach the header to the ceiling it won't be verticle ! Do I plane it back to verticle and pack it to maintain the width of the header plate (for the lining) . Or is there some secret that I don't know about?
Its to be lined with 6mm ply internally and externally with mini corry. Frame is from 90x35 Baltic pine.
Anyone care to plunge in?
Cheers
