Hi:
I'm really keen to begin working on a timber frame project, with the intention of building my own house in the near future, probably a 1.5 storey with loft rooms.
I've got a couple of books, and have just ordered 3 more, Tedd Benson, another Jack Sobon and the Steve Chappell one.
Problem is, there are very few traditional timber framers in Australia (a business opportunity for me???) and I am wondering whether i can get to the house building skill level without a course of some sort.
I'm in the UK for 6 weeks over christmas and am even consideing a week in the US to attend a course if one is running.
Any ideas, tips, hints would be most useful.
