A step-by-step guide to traditional timber-frame building, written specially for beginners.

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.
