Mat's Review: 

This is the handbook for the Fox Maple School’s timber framing workshop. There was a time when the only way you could get it was by attending a workshop. This workbook contains over 250 pages of in-depth technical information on the joinery, design, and construction of traditional timber frames. Illustrated with over 230 photos and CAD drawings. Included are frame plans, design and engineering formulas, rule-of-thumb guidelines, shop setup, builder’s math, joinery design criteria, practical timber-framing tips, and more. If you are a builder, architect, engineer, or an aspiring owner-builder, A Timber Framer's Workshop will provide the information you need. This book is highly recommended by timber-framing teachers.
