Learn to Timber Frame by Will Beemer

Building the Timber Frame House by Tedd Benson is also good if I had to pick one I would go with the Beemer book.

The Book Review Grid has several that might be of interest.

Thanks ya'll! Great tip with the book-reviews link --I'm new here so I'm still getting my bearings!

I found Homebuilding and Woodworking in Colonial America by C. Keith Wilbur had some great information. I am not a builder by trade, nor have I attempted to build anything using the book, but it seemed like some pretty solid info.

I don't suspect that much of Australia has to deal with much as regards snow loads, right John?

This has to do with timber frame design and all things Hybrid Timber Framing.

I have a number of books on the way, I just got a bunch of timber framing tools, now all I need is land and timber. I figured failure to prepare is preparing to fail… wouldn’t want to find some sort of land and not have the tools I need to construct a dwelling.

I got this one on eBay for a cheap price. It mentions how pine is ideal and especially pine grown on poor sandy soil due to its better density. AKA Florida pine!

As a complete novice I’ve had to look up definitions frequently but overall it’s been understandable so far.

It focuses on hand tools, it mentions advantages of chainsaws and how most logs are not hand hewn these days but so far it’s perfect for the tools I have.

Just Do It!!, Jeff. Can you, can anyone in your state get a permit to cut timber? Get one. Cut small logs and build a doll house or a larger one you could sell as a super attractive garden shed/ yard storage shed. By the time you have built your tenth one you should have a decent side business selling these and you will be WELL ON YOUR WAY to doing something larger, something someone can live in, maybe not you but someone and you will have taught yourself a large number of VITALLY important lessons and how to timber frame.

By the tenth one you could be building the one on the cover of the book you showed in your post!!!

Thanks for the idea.. I will research it tonight.  Currently making beer before it rains.
