	building the timber frame house: the revival of a forgotten craft Tedd Benson with James Gruber 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. 211pp click on image for contents page more on timber building Price: £14.95

	timber framing for the rest of us: a guide to contemporary post and beam construction Rob Roy Post and beam frame structures are integral parts of many building methods, but they require a high degree of craftsmanship, training, time and expense. Until now there has been no authoritative guide for how to use available alternatives. This is the first book to describe in depth the timber framing methods used by most contractors, farmers and owner-builders - methods that use modern metal fasteners, special screws, and commonsense building principles to create post and beam structures in much less time. The book includes everything an owner-builder needs to know about building strong and beautiful structural frames from heavy timbers. 176pp click on image for contents page more on timber building Price: £15.50

	natural timber frame homes Wayne Bingham & Jerod Pfeffer "Natural Timber Frame Homes" is a book about the future of houses - those inspired not by a technology-governed and energy-intensive world, but instead developed organically in response to the places in which we live. Through beautiful photography and informed text, it explores the quiet splendour of traditional timberframe homes built with straw bales and plaster or clay-finished walls. "Natural Timber Frame Homes" addresses the home in five areas: effect on the surrounding environment, relationship to personal health, interaction with economy, engagement of the builders, and beauty and character. 192pp more on timber building Price: £17.99

	out of the woods - ecological designs for timber frame housing Pat Borer & Cindy Harris Centralised high rise system building and mass housing have long been given as the solution to the problem of housing shortage. These standardised, lowest-possible cost 'units' of accommodation have bypassed tried and tested craft practices and destroyed the chance for many to determine the shape of their surroundings. Out of the Woods is the ideal antidote for those wishing to avoid huge estates of identical housing by creating their own purpose-built homes. Using the flexible and adaptable Walter Segal method, the book provides an easy approach for those with no previous building experience to create their own post-and-beam timber home with expert advice for all stages of planning, design and building. With in depth consideration for the environmental impact and cost of different materials, Out of the Woods helps you create an affordable eco-friendly home to suit your tastes and needs. 124pp more on timber building Price: £23.00
