Book Reviews of A Timber Framer's Workshop: Joinery, Design & Construction of Traditional Timber Frames

Book Review: Great Book!
Summary: 5 Stars

Excellent book, very thorough. Lots of good info on engineering, stresses and design of joints. Also good info on timbers, where they are cut in the log, shrinkage, and more. Would not ignore any of his advice if you would like your frame to be safe and last for generations.

Summary of A Timber Framer's Workshop: Joinery, Design & Construction of Traditional Timber Frames

Timber Framing has been a part of our building culture and an inspiration to mankind since the Middle Ages. As we enter a new millenium, it is designed to remain as one of building's most enduring forms, not only because of its intrinsic beauty, but because it is a pure and complete structural system.
