Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper I have surveyed and classified the different transferring methods used for adjusting irregularly sized timber. In contrary to the research that exists in this field that has mostly focused on buildings and construction types, I have tried to classify and explain the methods that I have identified keeping the focus on what actually happens in the practical situation. It can be seen as an attempt to re-establish the craftsman’s know-how in hands on restoration and reconstruction. The empirical material constists of my own carpentry experience and of participation in practical restoration and reconstruction projects in Danish, Norwegian, French, English, Japanese and American timber-frame traditions. I have also used historical and contemporary literature and handbooks for carpenters that involve methods of scribing irregularly sized timber. The preliminary classification of the transferring methods is followed by a visual description of each identified procedure and a short analysis of effi ciency, workplace arrangements, context of tradition, tools and markings for the different methods. Despite advanced power tools, CAD-drawings and prefabrication, every experienced timber framer has undoubtedly found himself in a situation when the transferring methods are effi cient and therefore needed. Even today there will always be situations that require a craftsman’s practice of timber framing methods.

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- An analytic study of the French timber framed three-aisled barn in Aclou, built in the 15th century, has shown that it is possible to reconstruct the original building process by means of knowledge of workmanship, of recise measuring and of digital documentation. This reconstruction has been an attempt to regard historical buildings as a result of a building process and not just as a historical monument. The focus of this study has been to find and to use the still existing traces and markings from the original building process as argumentation for a reconstruction, a description of the workmanship that lies behind the timber frame construction. It has been an attempt to make a scientific research of the intellectual part of the craft to show and to revive some of the simple but very efficient techniques and tools which were developed throughout the past thousand years, and which today mistakenly have slipped out of use.
