Beskrivelse
Oak-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 editionA comprehensive and practical handbook for experienced carpenters and an inspirational and informative guide for anyone interested in owning their own oak-framed buildingCovers 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 offFeatures colour photographs, illustrations and three-dimensional drawings throughout
