Hi Clark,

Thanks for the advice, I will definitely get the book, I am in japan now, I will try to get it this summer. Once I can finish my first mini-frame, I may consider my self a timber framer and join the the Guild. Until then, I am a guy with chisels, I don't deserve to be called a timber framer, but I am sure excited about learning and I really appreciate everyone's advice.

Serge
