      24/ The problem I have w WoG is that the posts have more in common with female instagram vacation photos than they do with masculine domains that deal with reality. It's looks and mood, back filled with hand waving and third hand talking points, and no reality.

      28/ Take a timber framing class. Sharpen chisels and hand planes. Help carry 500 lb timbers. Knock the mortises and tenons together by hand using a massive hammer "persuader" made from a log. Tie ropes to the bents and pull them into position.

      29/ I've done all of this, and more. I've helped build conventional houses, and I've helped build an alternative (timberframe) house. Get some callouses. Get some splinters. THEN I will listen to your opinions on this stuff.

      Good thread taking down one of the most aggressively disingenuous trad accounts on here. WoG understands building processes/materials so poorly that I suspect he couldn't build a fence that would stand 10 years. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1413862918660235266 …

      31/ TY! Stick building optimized for industrial scale. It's almost free to cut a tree into 2x4s and then the 2x4s are easy to move. Timberframe requires much less sawing, more hand work. Results are beautiful. I like TF, would use it in this scenariohttps://twitter.com/looking5452/status/1413879869000323076 …

      Beautiful thread. Since you're experienced, a quick question: If one person is building a home from their own timber—milling, drying, and some light machinery for lifting—would you recommend a timber frame or platform/stick?

      32/ this sounds like a long and fascinating and ultra rewarding path! best of luck to you; you're going to love and (hate ! :) every day of it, and no other project will be as rewarding or make you as proud when you're done.https://twitter.com/looking5452/status/1413882611487870976 …

      Thank you much for your reply! I had a feeling that was the case, synthesized from both the history and current state of building. I'm soon to embark on a decade(s?) long journey to build a small compound for my family—by myself—thanks to your inspiration and wonderful books!
