    • This book is about old European "Works of Heart"
Format: Paperback
Hermann Phleps was a very gifted historian and architect who was able to record in photos and wonderfully detailed pen and ink drawings, the treasure of solid wood construction. The book was originally published in Germany in 1944 and later translated into English so that we could share in the detailed history of log and solid wood construction techniques used from northern Scandinavia to the Alps, from France to Central Europe. As a log home designer and builder, I find it an endless source of ideas and visual evidence that solid wood construction is both a viable body of construction techniques and a display of handcraftsmanship and "Works of Heart." It is said that a laborer works with his or her hands; a craftsman, their hands and their head and an artist, their hands, their head and their heart. This book shows how long that has been true and sets a target for us to strive for once again. ... show more

    • Classic, Collectible; Should Stay In Print
Format: Paperback
This is a truly CLASSIC book on solid wood timber-craft building. There are plenty of wonderful line drawings of joints and turnings to admire and to learn from, if you can learn from seeing and analyzing images as well as words. The book is a rarity and pricing reflects that. Most timber frame carpenters and fans will do very well with works by Ted Benson, for example. ... show more

    • Handbook for European log cabin design
Format: Paperback
I am involved with restoring an 1837 log cabin in Central Illinois. I wanted to see what typical dovetail angles were used in American log cabins. This book did not answer my question........but wow...........it has about every design combination you can think of for building old wood structures......and gave me some good ideas. Very educational about log structures were built in Europe for 1,000 years. ... show more
