An heirloom-quality scale model and structural showcase of a classic 3-story gambrel barn. Engineered with 1/2" and 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood, this build features precise joinery (dadoes and rabbets) to guarantee structural alignment. The layout details a ground-floor animal husbandry area for meat rabbits and hair sheep, with two structurally supported upper living lofts (kitchen/living area and bedroom) divided by a central load-bearing partition wall to prevent deflection over the 24-inch span.
