Summary: The best place to start
Comment: I have bought probably 10 books on timber framing and ended up building my own 2000 sf timber frame barn. I went back to this book more than any other becasue it covers the basics so well.
If you're looking to attempt a fairly straightforward project without any real complex joints or design, this is probably the only book you'll ever need - a great primer and a great basic reference.

Summary: Off to a good Start.
Comment: " Timber Frame Construction " provides a good basis of knowledge for the expeirenced builder intrested in learning post and beam joinery , from the history of the craft to tools and joints. I found the book a valuable source for my project.

On the down side I could have used more explanation on what joints to use, the best cutting sequence and a greater description of where not to use them.

Overall though I recommend it.
