Book Reviews of Full length roof framer
Book Review: archaic tables for occasional roof-cutters
Summary: 3 Stars
If you cut an occasional roof, and want a handy reference, this is the book, especially if you're doing straight gable type roofs. The reason I say "archaic" is that the hand-held pocket calcuator has made the use of "tables" obsolete long ago. If you're serious about learning the almost-forgotten art of true roof-cutting, multi-hips with broken ridges, and so forth, get yourself a good little trig calculator, a used introd. trig text, and a copy of "A Roof Cutter's Secrets to Framing the Custom Home" by Will L. Holladay. Another useful albeit impossibly esoteric text is "Roof Framing" by Marshall Gross, for the truly hardcore.Book Review: Indispensible for Roofing
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this book since 1975, and in the past 25 years this book has been my bible for roof framing. I wouldn't do a job without it. (Using my wife's username: I'm the carpenter, not she.)Book Review: A small book with all you need to know
Summary: 5 Stars
The was the first book that I bought on the subject of cutting a roof. The examples on laying out a roof are excellent. The nice thing about this book is that you can put it in your shirt pocket. I learned to cut a roof from the examples given in this book. I have used this book for about 25 years.Book Review: Full Length Roof Framer
Summary: 5 Stars
A must for every framer. It gives all your lengths on every 1/2 pitch calculated from the span instead of the run,so there's hardly any math involved. it also gives the application of all your basic rafter layouts. Don't cut a roof without it.Book Review: a must for any framer
Summary: 5 Stars
this book gives the perfect result every time. full length gives the true framer a constant resource. calculaters are easier but this book gives the theory behind the numbers
