"In 2004, Lloyd Kahn discovered a group of unique carpenters along the Pacific Coast of North America. Over a two-year period, he made four trips north from his home in the San Francisco Bay Area, up the coast, shooting the photos that appear in this book." "To preserve homeowners' privacy, specific locations are not given, but suffice to say this book focuses on the Pacific Coast north from San Francisco up to and around Vancouver Island, British Columbia, latitudes 37 to 49 degrees." "There's been a vortex of creative carpentry energy in this part of the world over the last 30 years. Many of the builders shown here got started in the countercultural era of the '60s and '70s, and their work has never been shown in books or magazine articles."--BOOK JACKET.

Building a Wood-Framed Panelized Yurt available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "I personally am really impressed with the quality and step by step instructions in this book." - Kent Griswold, publisher, The Tiny House Blog & Tiny House Magazine. Marvin Denmark, a carpenter and craftsman with 50+ years of experience, shares the procedures he used to build and assemble all the components of a 12-sided wood-panelized yurt. The structure is based on the original yurt design, employing a center ring and tension cable, but it is built using wood-framed panelized construction that includes radial rafters similar to a traditional yurt. A panelized building system means that the components can be constructed off-site and then transported to the site for assembly. There are two editions of this book. This is the BLACK & WHITE EDITION: Detailed instructions, photographs and illustrations include the design, materials list and cut-list for a 16-foot diameter wood structure. There are also links to three videos that demonstrate construction of the components. This yurt was a 1st-place winner in the 2018 Tiny Homes Contest on Instructables.com.
