Hanok building book. Traditional Korean timber frame house.

As a total novice to timber farming (with some carpentry experience) I've been on a bit of a kick about Japanese and Korean style timber frame buildings. There seems to have been many posts about them here over the years so  I figured I would share something I just found. This is a free pdf of an English language book describing the building techniques used in a hanok.  It has lots of great pictures and some great information on materials used and even average costs. Enjoy! https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://auri.re.kr/pdf/20180201/Building%2520Hanok%2520Components%2520%26%2520Techniques.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwidzePN3-_iAhUjiOAKHdSTBHkQFjASegQIBhAB&usg=AOvVaw0axpF3gkhKiWdWWyNOYm2_&cshid=1560748920228

Hi!
I just found your post about 4 years later. After learning about Korean hanok from the YouTube channel Wood Wood (very good by the way and makes me wanna start with that in the timber framing world) and Mr. Chickadee’s Japanese extension’s frame, which have a lot of things in common, I am very please to find this document with direction in bay lengths and design. Can’t wait to dive into it.
Did you ever try building something similar?

Dave, thank you very much for sharing this. Super cool overview and read-through. Even has a decent compilation of lovely and fairly clear color photos. Nice!

I'm glad this post resurfaced. That is a really interesting book from the amount I skimmed so far.

You are telling me. I had been aware of it when it was first posted, but totally forgot to look into it, but since I have been tearing through timber framing educational materials, I got on it this time!

Glad you folks enjoyed it. Its hard to find english language material with instructional value. I havent built one yet but I've been practicing my woodworking and building rocket stoves. Ive been wanting to try. Making an ondol stratification chamber.

I've actually been looking back through this book here and there on the weekends as I have time, and while I'm concurrently looking the Japanese side of timber framing. Still a very neat look through the window at this process, and I'm glad to have this resource. I really wish that the other publication that that organization has would also be available, but even though it's listed on their own website as a download, it never seems to download properly, even though "Hanok" will, and every single time. Who knows..........
