Handbuch der Schiftungen

The standard work on the art of timber framing. A classic manual for the carpenter's practice: In Manfred Euchner's standard work, apprentices, journeymen, master students, and masters can refresh their knowledge and discover new insights. The art of timber framing is illustrated through clear construction drawings and explanatory images. Proper timber framing is the foundation for ensuring that all the timbers of a roof structure create a stable framework on the construction site. Even in the age of computer-assisted work, mastering this art is essential for carpenters. Drawing from his extensive teaching experience, Manfred Euchner makes the goal of all timber framing clear: to facilitate work on the drawing board and during layout by "thinking ahead." The examples progressively increase in complexity, demonstrating how to find various detail points.
