Crafting Frames of Timber by Michael Beaudry
Crafting Frames of Timber is my newest work. It represents my collective years of experience building. Every aspect from tree selection, design, hand-hewing, tool selection, framing joinery and log building is covered. The book is heavily illustrated with photos and line drawings and each chapter provides the builder with several options in frame design. Several ways to fit floor joists, or roof the structure are provided. Explained are half a dozen ways to scarf a timber, how to cut a King Post truss, English tying joint and more.
The book is sequential, walking one through the process of framing from sills to roof trusses. Key terms such as Square Rule, Settling Allowance, and Reference Face are explained.
The book is a must for anyone considering hand-hewing timbers, designing a structure, or building a frame of timbers.
