GMC Publications Oak-Framed Buildings
Book SynopsisOak-framed Buildings is a practical and inspiring guide to their design and construction, written by expert craftsman Rupert Newman. Oak-framed buildings have been with us for centuries and they are here to stay. They are beautiful, durable and environmentally friendly, and by marrying traditional and modern materials they can be brought to a very high standard of energy-efficiency. This is a practical book on the technique of timber-frame construction for carpenters, builders and aspiring self-builders, but it will also be a source of inspiration to anyone who appreciates beautiful buildings. Full-colour photographs show projects by the author and others both complete and under construction, and structural details are clearly explained both in photographs and in three-dimensional drawings. Here is a traditional craft brought fully up to date for the 21st century. Topics covered include: past and present, making a start, understanding the structure, frame design, the construction process, raising the frame, walls and roofs, second fix, finishing off, and future of timber building. Revised and updated edition A comprehensive and practical handbook for experienced carpenters and an inspirational and informative guide for anyone interested in owning their own oak-framed building Covers all stages of construction, from coming up with a budget and choosing land, through designing, making and raising a frame to adding the roof, walls and floors and finishing off Features colour photographs, illustrations and three-dimensional drawings throughout Trade ReviewNearly 200 well-laid-out pages, clearly-written text, finely-drawn diagrams and great photographs; at just shy of £25, it’s worth every penny. But does the author manage to be inspirational? Let’s put it like this: if I were a young man, I’d build myself a summerhouse using this book, send photos of it to the author with a note saying, ‘Please Mr Newman, give me a job’. * The Woodworker magazine *Table of ContentsIntroduction A Brief History of Timber Framing Starting Off Case Study 1: From Tragic Beginnings to a Triumphant End Designing Frames Case Study 2: The Minstrel Frame The Structural Qualities of Oak Making Frames 89 Raising Frames Case Study 3: Oak Frame and Structurally Insulated Panels The Building Envelope Case Study 4: Sustainability at the Gateway Centre Finishing Details Further Reading Useful Contacts Glossary Index

Cornerstone How to Build Impossible Things
Book SynopsisMark Ellison is regarded by many as the best carpenter in New York. A man with an affinity for challenging work, he has designed and constructed some of New York's most elaborate and expensive homes, and been profiled in the New Yorker. But, as a native of the old steel town Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, his route into the building trade and the mastery of a craft was unexpected, moving from construction labourer to helper and finally to carpenter. Now, at the age of sixty, he has written his first book.

The History Press Ltd English Cathedral and Monastic Carpentry
Book SynopsisWell over a hundred great churches were built in the cathedral tradition in the Middle Ages. They are our most important group of historical monuments and embody the finest craftwork of medieval architecture. Despite a great mass of specialist literature and research on other aspects, it was not until Cecil A. Hewett’s work over the past three decades that any serious attention was paid to their functional carpentry or, indeed, to their decorative timberwork.Examining the entire range of ‘great’ churches, Hewett’s carefully reasoned and well-organised text covers all areas of monastic and cathedral carpentry, classifying roof structures, towers and spires in chronological order, while an important section deals with the surviving examples of hoisting machinery still in situ, some from a very early date. In English Cathedral and Monastic Carpentry, he relates the physical evidence to the documentary record supported with over 300 of his own magnificent drawings. In this, Hewett provides both a work of reference and a stimulating analysis of the evolution of the craft.
