Description

The 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. Veteran timber framer Will Beemer takes you through the entire process of building a traditional timber frame 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 exactly how to build one small (12ʹ x 16ʹ) 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. Read more

    • Great overview of everything timber frame
Format: Kindle
After getting the infectious idea to build a cabin I started buying books on the subject. This seems to be the best starting book. I now own a half dozen books. I intend to re-read this a second time through before starting the next one. I have been using FreeCAD to build 3D printed frame joinery models and to compare tansu loft access options. This book has helped with every aspect. Allowing me to start collecting the tools required, as I research and finalize my design. Very happy to also learn of the local school where I can learn propper skills in a guided hands on manner. ... show more

    • EXCELLENT Publication ! ! !

I finally obtained a book that actually showed Joints, Planning, Layout, and all steps to take to build a Log Structure ! This is a Loaded Color Picture Book with simple straight forward explanations ! Other publications I have bought have left me wondering why I wasted money for Faded Black & White PICs with minimal examples. This Book is Worth Every Penny ! ! ! ... show more

    • fair instructions on how to build a small timber frame building.
Format: Hardcover
I like it, my wife isn't impressed. I like it for the couple of tips and tricks it refined for me for timber frame joints. Makes life easier. My wife didn't like it because she felt that it wasn't enough variety of building as they only provide plans and techniques for one style small building. But it's all adaptable. By using the basic techniques, you can do more! ... show more

    • Can be confusing
Format: Hardcover
Review Image by D
It’s a great book to learn from it’s just that the way that they word a lot of the things in the book can confuse you and the measurements are good but they only give half it I’ll post a photo to show what I mean . Besides that it’s a good book to learn the basics.

    • Excellent Book!
Format: Hardcover
I am about to build a smallish cabin on a piece of forestry land I own. I am a very experienced carpenter but have never timber framed and wanted to build the cabin in that style. This book has a very nice plan in it and it is packed with valuable information. I am certain with this book alone I will be able to construct a timber frame building. Material list, tool list, with power and hand options, very good, simple to read illustrations, and lots of information about understanding wood characteristics. ... show more

    • Start to finish, this book covers it all
Format: Hardcover
A great book. I got this a few months prior to winter (and to starting my project) and it has been excellent. In addition to educating me on the things I knew I did not know, it also helped me discover the things I didn’t even know I didn’t know. It is written in a format that allows you to think and discover the process. What I really liked was that it took me step by step through the process giving me both knowledge as well as questions I needed to figure out prior to starting my project. I am looking forward to the spring when I can begin to play with the new tools, the new knowledge, and the new workshop I extend to build. ... show more

    • If you want to actually build a timber frame, buy this book!
Format: Hardcover
I'm building my first timber frame building, which is a shed. I have read six different books on the matter, including from Jack Sobon and Tedd Benson. This book is by far the best book I have ever read on the subject of actually going through the process of making the structure in a detailed step-by-step way. For a beginner, this is invaluable. This book doesn't go into all the history and theories so much, but I didn't want that in this book. I got all the history and theory from other books, now I want better "newbie" instructions on how to get out there and build it. With this book, I am finally so convinced that I know what I am doing that I can go out there and build. I ordered my white oak timbers from a local sawmill, bought the basic tools, and am all fired up and ready to go. To summarize, if you want to actually go out and build a timber frame (vs. a historical read on history and theory), buy this book! Thank you Will Beemer for this masterpiece! ... show more
