Timber Framers Guild Forums General General Forum Questions Do you have a TF philosophy?

Timberframing a trade or profession? I don't see plumbers professing thier plumbing philosophy.

I hear it often. S@#t flows downhill. Payday is thursday. Keep your fingers out of your mouth!

Sorry-- had to!

Regarding philosophy,
I came into carpentry later in life. I've done high end kitchens and renovations. I have a background in environmental engineering. Did lots of work for people who are environmentally hypersensitive. (allergic to everything, even wood!) Did some airsealing of houses/ retrofit insulation.
I come to timberframing because it is healthier for ME! Period!
Plus, nothing beats pounding a chisel!
