I am interested to know of anybody doing timber framing here in Australia. We have plantation radiata pine which can be hewed into nice beams, which when combined with straw bael walls will be great sustainable houses and we can then leave our forests alone. I wondered if you reply to peoples comments, like the guy who asked " about how you determine where the collar tie should go?".Any good luck to you all.cheeriogary DornPermaculture architect Gary Dorn <Krakka@Bigpond.au> Perth, W.A Australia - Wednesday, December 17, 1997 at 00:35:08 (EST) I am interested in building a timber frame house and would like to know if there are any timber framers in Oklahoma, Northwest Arkansas, or Southeast Missouri.

Thanks Michael Martin <armor@tiac.net> New Platz, NY Ulster - Tuesday, November 25, 1997 at 16:36:14 (EST) We would like to thank everybody who contacted us on the “Wolf Building System”. Many of you just wanted to know more about the system out of curiosity or general interest. Some are so excited they are seriously considering this technology for their own new homes. With others, we are already interchanging design ideas and proposals. For this reason we would like to expand our network of contacts to three groups of suppliers in North America: 1) Glue-Lamination Manufacturers for the post and beam structural framing system. Our main supplier here in Alberta produces laminations with spruce and pine, which is an excellent material for the housing industry and has been used in the European housing market for about 40 years.2) Construction Hardware Manufacturers for the patented “Wolf's Hook” hardware connecting device.3) Insulation Panel Manufacturers for the envelope of the building (wall, floor and roof systems)Contractors with credentials for excellent workmanship who are interested to build with the ‘Wolf Building System’ are invited to contact us - who knows, maybe there is a potential client in your neighborhood who wants to build with the ‘Wolf Building System’ and you could still use your local suppliers and trades for completing the project. Or perhaps you see an opportunity to be one of the first using this new generation of construction technology.

We finished TF shed last year and are now building combination TF/log cabin sugarhouse here in VT. Couple of suggetions: you might have apage showing shrinkage rates for different kinds of wood (we buildwith green lumber here) and photos (a la Wooden Boat magazine's listing ofNew Launchings) of new constructions. Perhaps these could be emailed into some addressand you could upload. Will definitely bookmark.

Steve Smith Goshen Timber Frames <goshen@dnet.net> Franklin, NC USA - Saturday, October 18, 1997 at 09:11:43 (EDT) Great site. I was wondering if plans or drawings of the Trebuchet are available. It would make a great desktop model. Chris Holtorf <lholtorf@nwlink.com> Marysville, WA USA - Wednesday, October 15, 1997 at 10:05:23 (EDT) I was very impressed with article on the back cover of the November issue of Fine Homebuilding. The trebuchet looks ominous and quite majestic. I would like to inform you of an event held in Lewes, DE on the first weekend following Halloween called " Punkin Chunkin". The event is simply who can throw an 8-10 lb. pumkin the farthest distance without using explosives or incendiary devices. Any mechanical device may be used; sling-shot, centrifugal, air cannon or any thing else that meets the rules; V-8s have also powered some units! It would be very impressive if the trebuchet could be entered in the competition. If interested , I'm sure the Lewes Chamber of Commerce could help in entrance criteria. If you have any questions I could help with, please feel free to call at (302) 677-3784. Bruce Campbell Dover, DE - Wednesday, October 08, 1997 at 15:25:22 (EDT) | |
