The Art of Japanese Carpentry Drawing by Chris Hall
Chris has just put his very comprehensive essay on the subject for sale on Ebay.
Link: The Art of Japanese Carpentry Drawing, Volume I and II - eBay (item 330399841847 end time Feb-27-10 13:44:57 PST)
Its a PDF document so you pay and its in your email inbox (a link to the download) in a jiffy.
Here's a link to his blog for anyone who doesn't know Chris and wants to see the level he operates at:
the Carpentry Way
Even if you don't buy his book, his blog is a wealth of info on many aspects of carpentry/woodworking/architecture.

Heck, Steve, I didn't have that money to spend. And yet... would have been a fool not to.
Thanks for those links! Hope you're well.

Hi Becky,
And its a PDF so you can't even cook it and eat it. But I suppose you could burn it
I'm well, thanks. How about you? Keeping busy I hope.
This is a bit off topic, but here:
Rescue of a Great Horned Owl
is yours truly in action.

Yeah, I kinda hate that -- will have to print it out (only, what... ten or twelve printer cartridges?) for use. No Kinko's near here, damn it. ;-)
Lovely link to the Great Horned. What a magnificent bird! And I love a happy ending.
Thanks for that!

Exactly what I did, Rattrap -- pretty intensive reading. Although he said in an e-mail to me (quite a personable guy) that eventually he hopes to have all the essentials in future volumes. Hope he finds a sufficient market for it to be worth his doing that: I know we'll all be waiting impatiently by our in-boxes.
And it certainly would be nice if he came out with bound editions in the future -- the PDFs are fine on the computer, but mighty expensive to print out.

I'm not sufficiently into Japanese joinery to buy his PDF publication, but an impressive blog site which I have also bookmarked. Respect his approach to things so will be back from time to time to see what's he is thinking about.
Thanks for the link, Steve.
.....Stay sharp and stay safe!
