Shop Prints Introduction 
Although these drawings contain more information than
an experienced timber framer would normally require,
it is recommended that you have some experience in
the actual cutting of timber joinery. If you have taken
a timber frame workshop, and have some woodworking
skills, you could build a simple frame. Note, however,
that it takes a while to learn to cut even simple joinery,
and most post and beam frames have several complex
joints.
