The process, practice, or system of constructing gables; the gables of a building collectively, or the act of framing gables.
From gable + -ing suffix (gerund/noun suffix). The -ing suffix converts verbs to nouns describing actions or processes, or describes a noun as a collection or system.
Gabling represents a specific carpentry skill—the complex geometry of framing a gable, where the roof must transition from rectangular walls to a triangular peak, was something master carpenters took pride in and apprentices had to learn.
