Notches of All Kinds #1: Notches of All Kinds: A Book of Timber Joinery

by Allan Mackie

Notches of All Kinds #1: Notches of All Kinds: A Book of Timber Joinery Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The advanced text, profusely illustrated in photos and drawings detailing each step taken to achieve the strength and beauty expected of solid timber construction or timber-frame construction.

Synopsis:

A traditional log structure was held together by gravity. Logs were carefully cut to length, and notched at the joining points to ensure a very tight fit, great stability, and weather-tightness. The notches were also beautiful and functional as the dovetails of a master cabinet-maker.

Here, Allan Mackie shows a complete selection of notches for corner joinery, roof beams and trusses and lateral grooves (for seating a stacked log firmly along the length of another wall log; and timber framing techniques).

Clear instructions and profuse illustrations and drawings make this a completely detailed manual for the log builder.
