Not sure how to take mo's post. In jest? Sarcasm?
I guess Joel want us to answer that question here. I am the type that is always trying to learn how the world works. I'm thinking that's what drew me to mechanical engineering, not to mention all my hobbies like car restoration, love of animals and always learning about them, growing things like my grape vines, learning about and how to fix everything I come across. Timberframing is a natural progression in learning about wood, woodworking, trees, the forest, how a tree grows, how to grow trees, how to build a house. Timberframing is also a connection to the past as well as my future and fits right in with a do it yourself attitude and mechanical aptitude. It currently feeds my insatiable appetite for knowledge. Regardless if you are building a frame, thinking about timberframing or applying what you've learned, it will remain a part of you. Perhaps if you are lucky you can pass your knowledge on to your child or a relative, or a friend, and the tradition will carry on.
