As Clark has mentioned that series shows a lot of good joints. But it really doesn't show step by step of how to cut the joint.

I did create some step by step "how to" stories and posted them on the forestry forum in the timber framing section as it was easier to post pictures there, at that time.
I could move or copy them over here or you can check out two stories at:
http://www.forestryforum.com/board/index.php?topic=6403.0
and
http://www.forestryforum.com/board/index.php?topic=7646.0

That should help you to get started....
If you have some specific joints you need help with understanding please post the question and I'm sure someone here, or I will help you to understand the order in which you make the cuts.
(Some people may do the same joint in a different order, depending on how they were taught, or how they learned.)
It really shouldn't matter as long as it comes out right....
