About this product

Product Information

For centuries, post-and-beam construction has proved to be one of the most durable building techniques. It is being enthusiastically revived today not only for its sturdiness but because it can be easily insulated, it is attractive, and it offers the builder the unique satisfaction of working with timbers. Building the Timber Frame House is the most comprehensive manual available on the technique. In it you will find a short history, of timber framing and a fully illustrated discussion of the different kinds of joinery, assembly of timbers, and raising of the frame. There are also detailed sections on present-day design and materials, house plans, site development, foundation laying, insulation, tools, and methods.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    Building the Timber Frame House by James Gruber, Tedd B

    This book was one of many I used, as a reference when I built a timber-frame shop/studio. My original book was badly damaged in a rain storm while I was constructing the building. I still have the original book, and I have wanted to replace it, but I did not want to pay the high cost of a new one. This is one of the best books on frames, tools, and joints for timber frame ever written. The copy I got was just like the one I had purchased years before.

    Great timber design resource.

    A good resource for a beginner and experienced timber framer. If you are an engineer type, the stats for timber sizing and locations for tenons and mortises are explained to maintain maximum timber strength are explained.

    Building the Timber Frame House by James Gruber, Tedd B

    This is a good technical book with lots of helpful hints regarding templates and measuring. It addresses using both modern and traditional tools. The book also addresses the timberframe as ann art form and gives a short history of the technique. Certainly a great book for anyone contemplating a timberframe construction of any scale.
