Using geometry & math, mixed with harmonics & musical overtones, this is the most complete work ever on the art & design of compound timber frame joinery. Chappell presents a complete and comprehensive geometric and mathematical system in this work. One that can be used to design virtually any conceivable arrangement of complex structural members that one may ever face.
