From the Introduction
Advanced Framing contains the best articles on framing and structure published by the Journal of Light Construction since its start in 1982. Our technical articles are written by tradesmen, engineers, and other construction professionals, based on their years of field experience. Our goal has been to capture their job-site wisdom and get it down on paper in plain English and with clear illustrations. In this way, the magazine serves as a forum for building professionals to discuss their fast-changing field with one another, and as a training tool for newcomers.
Rather than gloss over the tough spots, The Journal has always tried to address them squarely, with the hope that our readers can learn from the experiences - and mistakes - of their peers, rather than learn everything on their own the hard way. So whether you're an accomplished builder, remodeler, or designer looking for pointes - or a newcomer looking for a close-up view of current building techniques - we think you'll find much of value in these pages.
