User:Jim Derby
Hi. I live in Maine, U.S.A. and I study historic carpentry and traditional building techniques which came to America from many places and is a complex subject. My focus is on editing timber framing and the many related topics which are minimally organized right now. Jim Derby (talk) 20:37, 10 December 2012 (UTC) I expanded my editing to carpentry and construction topics in general this winter. I think Wikipedia is getting to be a good place to look for basic construction information. Jim Derby (talk) 15:41, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
