Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I can't say for sure it's in here.But I looked quickly and saw a small P and B barn.
Don't let the name here fool you....scroll down and check out some of the subjects,like construction.
It may not help you but some really odd plans are on here and some may give you a couple ideas.

Good luck with the new shop.

Re: Post and beam workshop

I'm finding it hard to find plans for a smaller structure like that but did find this book that does have plans for a 12 x 16 building. 7th book in the list "Timber Frame Construction"

Fate is on your side. Just this morning in the library (john), I was looking at Fine Homebuilding, issue 166, and there is an article in there on building a 12 X 16 timber framed shed. PM with an address and I will mail you a copy of article. Bruce

Re: Post and beam workshop

Another great reference, if you need details on cutting the joints or sizing the beams is Tedd Benson's book "Building the Timber Frame House".

It is still in print and probably available from your local library. I used it a long time ago to design my own timber frame home. It is a great reference book, if you need additional info. Avail from Barnes & Noble here.
