SynopsisThe elegant simplicity of timber frame construction is made accessible to all levels of builders with step-by-step building instructions for one small, easy-to-build timber frame cabin, along with plans for modifying it to suit particular needs and locations. The first guide to timber framing written specifically for beginners! Expert Will Beemer takes you through the entire process from start to finish, beginning with timber sourcing and ending with a finished building. Using full-color photos, detailed drawings, and clear step-by-step instructions, Beemer shows you exactly how to build one small (12 x 16) timber-frame structure -- suitable for use as a cabin, workshop, or studio. He also explains how to modify the structure to suit your needs and location by adding a loft, moving doors or windows, changing the roof pitch, or making the frame larger or smaller. You'll end up with a beautiful building as well as solid timber-framing skills that you can use for a lifetime.

Good book for starters
It covers all a budding timber framer wants to know. It really is a compelling guide, with lot of pictures and explanations, even plans for cabin. Seems like a really good book to start with timber framing (buy it before you buy tools, there is good advice on that as well).Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
