Timber Framing Texts (in Engligh)
Posted: Mon May 08, 2017 10:31 am
Anybody care to share their favorite English language books on timber framing? I think I'm looking for intermediate to advanced level stuff- there's plenty of books aimed at beginners, I own Chris' TAJCD series, and I'm wondering if there's material in between. I'm hoping to get a better feel for general approaches to framing, sizing timbers, truss design, strategies for raising, etc.
Here are some titles I'm considering from the TF Guild online store:
A Timber Framer's Workshop, by Steve Chappell
Advanced Timber Framing, by Steve Chappell
Master's Guide to Timber Framing, by James Mitchell
Timber Frame Joinery & Design vols. 1&2, by TFG
Timber Framing Fundamentals, by TFG, Ken Rower editor
If anyone's read these and could comment on how you like them, or could recommend others, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks,
Matt
